I installed it on caves.org.au two years ago. It rocks but I have always wondered a bit about how to understand the statistics. Reading the webalizer homepage info doesnt tell me enough about understanding our own sites stats. [I have changed the subject as this is a bit OT] At http://caves.org.au/stats for say November we have Total Hits 15645 Total Visits 1672 Total Unique Sites 1015 Further down the page under "Top 20 of 316 Total URLs" I have..... # Hits KBytes URL 1 1107 7.08% 4722 4.54% /kid/ 2 810 5.18% 1190 1.15% /style.css 3 466 2.98% 44 0.04% /robots.txt 4 458 2.93% 1523 1.47% / 5 245 1.57% 51 0.05% /mailto_webmaster.js (all the rest are < 1%) yes 1107/15645 hits is 7% but the stats here suggest that the top two sites make up only 12% of the total hits. So the remaining 314 URLs (note there are 316 URLs) are each getting < 1% each of the traffic and this needs to add up to 92% which is will. Its just that this seems a very strange skew - a flat distribution with a few spikes. I would have expected that several sites would be the top and add up to a high percentage with all the rest distributed in say the last 20%. Anyone used to interpreting these things?
