+1 for Analytics HOWEVER, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Adobe's recent acquisition of Omniture, a top player in the web analytics market: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/invrelations/adobeandomniture.html
I'm not entirely sure what this means for ColdFusion developers, but it is an interesting development that I intend to keep an eye on. :) Take Care, Seth -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scullin, Gary B.

We are very happy with them, and have been able to get any information we need from their reports. You can even track PDF and other non-html pages by putting a parameter in the anchor tag that links to it. You can grant "Administrator" or "View reports" access to anyone with a Gmail account, and create different "Profiles' or views to the data. Very potent. And free. We use ColdFusion-based CommonSpot CMS and add the code to the footer in the master template. You can use CF to omit the script tag from any page based on page ID, subsite, keyword or any other attribute you can identify within ColdFusion or CommonSpot. And did I mention it's free? - Gary GARY SCULLIN Web Center|St. Luke's Episcopal Health System www.stlukestexas.org -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eddie Pequeno Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 10:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [houcfug] Coldfusion and Web Stats Greetings all. How are ya'll tracking web stats? There is a way to get some info on webstats via iis logfiles and CF but I'm looking for something a bit more robust. WebTrends is nice but it's just way to expensive. It would be great to have something similar though. Google Analytics and CF may provide a good solution. If anybody has worked with Google Analytics I'd be interested in your impression of it. -Eddie Pequeno -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Houston ColdFusion Users' Group" discussion list.
