Blog

I am not big headed enough to think that anyone visits this site. Frankly I don’t care either but the fact is I simply don’t know. I used to use visitors but I don’t it is that powerful. I gave it a bit of a go about ten minutes ago but I found myself getting rather heavy into the command line syntax to get what I wanted out. I didn’t care about any hits from my home IP or the two work IP’s I can go out on. I also looked at the access logs, and since my email is hosted by google I tend to get them looking for the googlehostedservices.html in my access logs. I haven’t a clue why because I opted to put the verification code in my DNS Zone file. I also have the usual robots.txt file that I don’t care about. So to get all the above working I had to do this:

visitors -A -m 30 /var/log/httpd/xxxxxx.com-access_log -o html –trails –ignore-404 –exclude 1.2.3.4.5.6 –exclude 87.56.34.21 –exclude 12.34.56.78 –exclude googlehosted –exclude wp-admin –exclude robot –prefix http://xxxxxx.com> /www/xxxxxx.com/www/stats.html.html

Even after that I didn’t get what I wanted out. I did a quick search and saw a plugin was available for wordpress I installed it – configured it and its doing its thing now. I will see what its like later. According to Google Analytics I signed up for it before as it was mapped to my old domain – I vaguely remember signing up to it now – I tried going through the report for the old domain – but I am sure it was 2005/6 when I gave it a go – and the oul interface aint up to that sortta anal searching
