Those are requests for HTML or equivalent files.

How is that going Chromate?

How did the implementation of it go? Is it usefull?

I have it on my list to add to my sites this week. Is it as server addition or a site addition?

I find it very much "back-to-basics". But that's good in that you can see exactly what's going on and only on the pages you want to monitor.

It's pretty easy to set up. Just unzip it, set the permissions and then paste in a small bit of code to all the pages you want to monitor (this code's the same for each page).

the code they provide to log traffic is based on SSI I believe, I also have a logging module based on PHP.

ahhh so you include some code in each page? Thats cool, most of my pages have a header ssi anyway so I can include it in that. I would like your loggin module Chris, I will contact you once I got it set up!

AXS's is great although some hosts dont appreciate it...

Had to upgrade my hosting service due to the load it placed on a shared hosting server from 5-7,000 page impressions per day.

I only installed it today, and so far, I'm content. But I can't really say much yet, because of the short time I've had it.

It was easy to install though... :)

Chris: the code they provide to log traffic is based on SSI I believe, I also have a logging module based on PHP.

would logging via php be better for server performance ?

The original code is javascript. It doesn't log Googlebot etc because googlebot wont process javascript. That's the major advantage of PHP.

So the PHP module will indeed log all spiders?

On AXS, how do you count pageviews and uniques please?

It's a bit misleading... a page view is a "hit" and it should say how many uniques you have had if you have the "average number of hits per visitor" option selected.
