Anyone who has ever tried to run a profitable website before has experienced the annoyance of server logs. Usually, the logs your ISP gives you with your account (if they even give you any) are basic in the extreme. They'll tell you how many people came to your website each day... what time they arrived, maybe where they came from, but that's about it.
If you've never heard of server logs before, a server log is a file (or several files) that are automatically created by the server hosting your website. Whenever someone comes to your site, or a file is requested, or someone logs in to your FTP area, the activities performed are listed on the server logs.
But server logs are not exactly created to give you the best possible information with which to use in the running and fine-tuning of your website - in fact, traditionally they don't collect any personal information that would help you improve your website experience for users.
For example - Which pages are the most popular? Which pages convince more of your users to buy? Which pages bring users in, and which pages see them leave? Who is linking to your content, and why?
For anything more than the absolute basics, server logs just aren't enough - you need to either install logging software yourself (which isn't easy for the layman), or you need to enlist the help of a web services company that can provide the tools you need to keep your website profitable.
Thankfully, companies that provide
free web counters and server log services, like RiteCounter, do exist, and many of them supply a vast array of options to help you get the most out of your e-commerce website experience.
