Hi, I have one blog site. Now I want to get individual blog page information, for example certain page http://www.myblog.com/frnaklin/index.jsp. This pages contains links. So I want to know the detail for example, the visitors comes form which sites, from http://www.myblog/others or google etc. And I also want to know the visitors hit which links in my pages.

II have write below Extra section, but only get this page information:

ExtraSectionName4="FranklinBlog"

ExtraSectionCodeFilter4="200 302″

ExtraSectionCondition4="URL,^/franklin/index.jsp$"

ExtraSectionFirstColumnTitle4="FranklinBlog"

ExtraSectionFirstColumnValues4="URL,^(.*)$"

ExtraSectionFirstColumnFormat4="%s"

ExtraSectionStatTypes4=PHBLEX

ExtraSectionAddAverageRow4=1

ExtraSectionAddSumRow4=1

MaxNbOfExtra4=20

MinHitExtra4=1

But parameters EX in ExtraSectionStatTypes4 does not work? From the manul, these should not work.

Then who can support me?

Thanks.

Hi,

E and X cannot be used in an extra section.

Try this to monitor the traffic entering the page:

ExtraSectionFirstColumnValues4="REFERER,^(.*)$"

It is more complicated to monitor the outgoing traffic. In short, you will have to use redirects and then count the redirected traffic.

Hi Jean,

Thank you.

I tried your solution and it works.

Do you have more suggestion for outgoing traffic?

Thanks.

Hi Jeon,

I find that we can use REFERER to resolve the outgoing traffic within the site. But for outgoing traffic to other sites, Awstats could not resolve the kind of issues? For example, in my blog page, there have hot links such as http://www.google.com, http://www.yahoo.com etc. I could not find these traffic. But within my site, I could find them.

Thanks.

You are right. You can use redirects to solve this. Basically a redirect will replace an external outgoing link by an internal one. You can use awredir.pl to do that or use your own utility. You find awredir.pl in the same directory as awstats.pl .

When using the redirector, you will have to edit your page and replace an external link to
http://external_site.com/linked_page
by an internal link to
http://my_site.com/cgi-bin/awredir.pl?key=ABCDEFGH&
url=http://external_site.com/linked_page
where ABCDEFGH is a security key (see the source code of awredir.pl for details).

Thank you, jean.

I tried "http://my_site.com/cgi-bin/awredir.pl?url=http://external_site.com/linked page". And it works.

But i did not find how to set the key. I need change the awredire.pl? And why i need set this key(stupid question?).

Two links that will help you:

MD5 explained in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5
MD5 online generator: http://www.miraclesalad.com/we…..ls/md5.php

You can also use awredir.pl without the MD5 key as explained in lines 32 to 36 of the source code:

# Put here a personalised value.
# If you dont want to use the security key in link to avoid use of awredir by an external web
# site you can set this to empty string, but warning this is a security hole as everybody
# can use awredir on your site to redirect to any web site (even non legal web sites).
$KEYFORMD5='YOURKEYFORMD5';
