Great. That's what its all about. > Day in, day out, I get the same types of visitors > visiting the same pages, > using the same search terms. This is a product of content. Perhaps you might publish information about a new topic or area of interest. I, for one, visit the same websites very predictably. My suspicion is that most users are the same. > The "referrer" report > is full of search engines > so I don't see any interesting links there. You might try grouping as many search engines together into 1 line item using REFREPALIAS. This will free up your report. Or, set the FLOOR to a different value to get a more detailed view. > The "broken" report is full of > failed attacks, so there's nothing fun there. Again, try using FAILALIAS. This one would be a bit more difficult to set up. Most worms have a predictable, recurring pattern. > The "domain" report doesn't change. This goes back to content. Of course, if you're publishing a site about flowers, there's not too much you can do to drive traffic of visitors who normally surf for monster trucks. > What have other people done to combat their > analog-ennui? Although I've never tried it, cross linking to other sites can spice things up. If you're really ambitious (and have A LOT of bandwidth) try getting Slashdotted some time. The zeitgeist tool could make this happen if some Editor found its function particuliarly interesting. I notice that your website's reports are not taking advantage of Report Magic. I found Report Magic to be a great tool and a fun project to implement. Have you tried using a 3rd party reverse DNS resolution program. RDNSLOGS, jdresolve and QuickDNS are good programs just to name a few. - Jim __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
