I tend to agree that the site duration information is a little pointless,
but it's unavoidably required by the client.

Can you think of any way possible that I can customise Analog to produce
this information? Otherwise I will have to opt for WebTrends, but I really
want to avoid this if there is any other way!!! Because I really like Analog
and WebTrends can be a little slow and annoying!

Is there any way I can get Average Visit Length information from Analog...?
How easy would it be to customise the code to enable this report...?

Many thanks,
Tom

question is - what difference does it make to you as the site owner? What
will you do differently if it counts as 12 visits per day, or as one 24 hour
long visit? He's not using exactly the same resources no matter which
definition you choose.
