[Comerford, Wayne]

Thanks for the replies,

Well I've downloaded and installed Analog-4.1
and got this result.

My site is only up a week and i'm still not to sure about the results. I see
alot of high numbers but i take it there just images etc. I'm abit worried
about the numebr of Failed Requests though any ideas why that would be so
high?
I suppose i'd better go over that readme file again. Thanks again for the
replies.

Regards
Wayne C.

All he was looking for was "hits" which is defined as any request to the
web server. If it was page impressions then that's a whole other kettle
of fish.. :)
I think Wayne needs to do some research into Analog(as you suggested)
and Webalizer..
