ZY Computing has released 123LogAnalyzer v. 3.0, an easy-to-use multi-platform tool that turns your web logs into a comprehensive analysis of your customers and prospects. 123LogAnalyzer tells you how visitors browse your web site, which pages they view and which they ignore, how long they spend on your site, and where they come from. With its new Marketing Report, you can track, analyze, and measure results by marketing campaign; 123LogAnalyzer keeps track of costs, sales, and profits by visitors, by bandwidth, and by page views and downloads.

123LogAnalyzer's web server activity report displays number of visitors, number of unique IP addresses, amount of bandwidth used, and number of hits site received, broken down by time increment, day of week, and hour of day. To learn more about information that visitors accessed, you can see which web pages were viewed, files were downloaded, directories were accessed, and images were looked at.

Referrer information includes domains and URL's that visitors came from. In addition to tracking visitors by country, program's new Geographic Reports let you track visitors by state and by major US city.

The search engine performance report displays search engines which referred visitors to site, and words and phrases that visitors searched for. It's easy to determine which search engines you've optimized your web site for, and which search engines require more work. In addition, 123LogAnalyzer provides information about which platforms and browsers people are using to visit your site. You can even identify missing files, broken links, and other errors that visitors encountered.

With its advanced filter options, 123LogAnalyzer lets you examine only those visitors who went to specific pages, or who downloaded particular files. You can also zero in on visitors who came from particular URL's, specific countries, or who visited at certain hours of day.

I began my venture into cyber space with absolutely no computer knowledge what-so-ever. Not only was I computer illiterate I didn't know InterNet from a fishing Net.

One of very first things I learned was that Internet can be a very lonely and impersonal world. Sitting alone in front of a computer screen hour after hour day after day and keeping your focus is not an easy task.

My first suggestion is to establish contacts with like minded people as soon as you can. Not only will this help keep you from feeling isolated it will allow you and they to take advantage of each others experiences and expertise.

I'm not saying bring others into your business, but networking has been a part of good business practices since beginning of time. It just makes good business sense to take advantage of all resources that are available.

How is this going to help me get traffic to my website you ask! Well, in a number of ways. Some of these networking pals will have websites that compliment yours, trade links. The more LEGITIMATE ( I say legitimate, because there are those that aren't) links you have to your site better.
