Walter, unique visitors are a figment of a marketer's imagination. No way a Web server can tell you that. "why Log stats are completely useless (or worse)" explains it nicely. It's linked at in Analog's docs, if I remember well. A report on where (some of the) visitors coem from is in the HOST

I don't want to sound negative about Analog - its great as a general guide to what going on. But surely if you want detailed analysis for Marketers you need a more detailed(?) product i.e. WebTrends?? Brian Hi Chad, True, but the trouble is that some of us work in intense colaboration

Well here's my tuppence worth; I don't think that you can say that WebTrends is 'much more detailed' than Analog. I do think you can say that WebTrends is vastly more 'creative' than Analog. The reasons for this are beautifully outlined in the 'what you can and can't do' section of the Analog

The most likely cause is that Analog doesn't think that the time period is exactly a day. Analog tends to use the first hit time and the last hit time as the time period covered. Check out the end of the line in the header that starts 'Analyzed requests from'. The last thing on that line
