Website Usage Statistics

To assess the effectiveness of a website it is essential to know who is accessing the website, why they are accessing it and from where. The following need to be removed:-

  • hits made by search engine "robots" and "spiders"
  • hits made by other "robots" searching for email addresses to sell
  • hits made by email "spammers" attempting to use the site to send spam emails
  • The remainder will mostly be accesses made by web users, but to allow meaningful analysis it is necessary to know:-

  • how many unique users made those hits
  • where in the world those users are located
  • which of those unique users are new and which "have come back again"
  • HawkOwl websites track this information as standard and HawkOwl will assist you in the analysis of that information.

    Monthly Site Usage statistics are provided free for HawkOwl developed websites.
