Pre-made templates for Affliate Referrals ( not working for version 2.1.2)
Detailed Site Log, shows a complete detailed site log history of who came to your site (user name) and from where (referrer). Shows 'User Agent' (browser that the user has used), the users host IP address and the tab they visisted.
Page Popularity lists each tab 'page', the number of requests and last request time and date stamp.
Page view by Day gives you a breakdown on Views, Visitors and Users for each day you specified in the calendar.
Page View by Day of Week groups the above for a good month end report on total requests showing you which days are most popular for your portal.
Page Views by Hour breaks down the report even more showing requests on an hourly basis.
Page View by Month gives you the total number of requests in a month, the number of visitors to your portal and the number of users who logged in or registered.
Site Referrals list the referrer (URL) of the website that has your link, the number of requests from that website URL and the last requested date that URL was clicked on to get to your portal. Referrer's also show up if someone has done a search on one of the search engines and clicked your URL. Your Site Referrer's or partner links are one of the most important internet tools you can use to tell people that your portal exists!
User Agents are the type of browser or search engine that has accessed your portal. For the user browser issue I'll report a mean average (2 week period in March/05) for portals.my-asp.net; Internet Explorer 6 of 94%, Netscape 6+ was 5%, all others (not including search engines or like programs) 1%.
User Frequency, Users by registration and country gives you instant reports for your demographics.
