[opencms-dev] need statistic (page hits)

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Tim, nice guys,

All of you are right.

--> Tim,

Yes I agree, WebTrends was (is ?) overpriced, for my last company it was
the only choice at that time (3 year's ago, because Siemens was hosting
the portal application and had WebTrends for analyzing and we had payed
2 Mio. $ for the cms portal, therfore 20.000 for WebTrends was not so
much for my crazy cheefs, which are unemployed now :-).

--> Steve,

I had evaluated one year later Urchin (www.urchin.com), it was
affordable (700$ I think) among all other commercial products and had
the same features as WebTrends and much more easy to configure, may be
it's something for your Marketing Manager :-)

Best Regards,
Arash

Besides that webtrends is an overpriced, flaky piece of garbage prone to
database corruption? 
</bitter experience>

If you are using the DCS version, you can embed the javascript calls in
an external file, which makes life much easier from the maintenance
front. YOu would then dynamically include this file in your template's
headers. 

You may want to test whether you are in offline mode and disable the
javascript, so you don't inadvertently track your user's edit activities
as visitor traffic.

HTH-

(and try out a more mature product- omniture or hit box are a million
times better for a real website).

Tim

Hello Arash,

My Marketing Manager would like me to implement Web Trends to monitor
the site's access.  Wondering if there's anything that would be useful
to know before hand?  

Best Regards,
Steve Mato
