hi Duz,
This software doesnt seem to say anything about the actual IP addresses of the people who visited our site so I can do a lookup or a who is and see where (which company) they are coming from.

Question
I need to know who is visiting my website
I need to know the IP addresses of people visiting my website. This will help me in the sales and marketing. Does anyone know of any tools that provide more than just statistics of how many visitors came to the website. I want to know who came from what IP and what they looked at.
Thanks in advance for any helpful tips

>This software doesnt seem to say anything about the actual IP addresses...
Yes it does here http://www.analog.cx/docs/
The IP address will mostly tell you what country they are in and that they came from an AOL, NTL etc etc. IP block is that what you want to know?
- duz
Most users do not have a static IP address when they use the internet, they are issued a dynmaic address by their ISP each time they log on. Using IP address will not provide you information on each users, but more than likely will just result in a list of ISP's and Routers.
One of the best diagnostic tools that I have used is WebTrends Log Analsis (http://www.netiq.com/webt

Try AXS, it give sspecific IPs and other stats, doesnt require access to log files.
AXS Site tracker is pretty nice and is good if you dont have access to server log files.

or if you have perl / php i can write something small for you.

The best package i have found to tracking visitors and viewing their visitor path through your website is www.indextools.com because you can view the information in realtime, handle pay per click campaigns etc.. It is a hosted solution and you pay per month for this service. The reporting side is very good.
On the source code side. StatCountex (asp code) is the closest I have found to free code to allow you to view visitor information and visitor path. there's a whole load of user updates available offering different features, like country look up on IP Address.
Not sure whats available in PHP code, some applications like PHP LiveHelper offer tracking on the visitor footprint through the website. This is from http://www.turnkeywebtools
I have used DeepMetrix LiveStat It give excellent information about users and thier habbits, including which contenent users are from down to which state or country they are in.

the easiest way to see you visitors, is your raw log files.
Usually after logging in with your ftp client under "/var/log/httpd/access.log
Of course You should have access to your web servers log files to see really who is visiting your website from which ip adress.
After having your log files you can use tools like webtrends or any other logfile analizer to determine which ip adress is used to access.
If you need a help on analysing your log files drop me a line.
Sincerely
E-strategyst.
USe this Free tool to manage the stats of your website.
you will not refuse it.
have a look at the website using it.

And the homepage where you can get it is
http://www.mrunix.net/weba
www.clicktracks.com
show you visually everything you need to know, alot more indepth than ip -> what was seen !
Hey there,
basically all of that information will be in your log files, although logs are not totally accurate, they do the job, its close enough. I have used analog also and recommend it, but AWStats is also pretty good and the graphs are very pretty. The way i would do it would be to chuck in a bit of code that logs each visitors IP and does an automatic pickup, then throws it in a database for later analysis...there are many ways to this.

You will need some logfile analysis software. There is a wide range to choose from but here is a good free one http://www.analog.cx/ and here is a sample of the kind of reports you can generate http://www.chiark.greenend
