Hi I am new to this thread,

I have just got my site up and running properly and it is starting to get indexed by the search engines.
I don't like the current Webalizer as it doesn't give me detailed reports. I want to know the counry my visitors are coming from. I want to set the system so it doesn't log my own browser. More importantly I want to be able to monitor individualy visitors progress through the site. What page did they come in, where did they go and were they put off by the PayPal payment option (probably) - what page did they leave at?
Basicly I am trying to get some idea about the amount of traffic i am getting and the amount of people who proceed to the payment pages but are unable or don't want to pay with PayPal.

I am not familiar with PHP and other advanced server stuff.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Well, awstats will do all you ask except track click paths of individual users. That sort of analysis is typically offered only in rather expensive analyzer packages. awstats will tell you entry and exit pages by popularity.

Power Phlogger will track individual users as they move from page to page through your site. You can also set it to ignore your own browser.
It will also show you those other stats that you would expect from a decent stat program, like the country visitors are coming from etc.
It's free and can be downloaded at www.phpee.com
You can also try out a demo on that web site by signing in as a guest, so you can see how it works before you download it.
Power Phlogger uses php and MySql and requires that you place a script on each page that you want to track.

Thanks for the info, seems that phlogger is the way forward.
I don't understand what
[2] Edit config.inc.php and enter your mySQL-information

means.
I dont know anything about SQL.

How do I do this (idots guide)
Thanks

BTW I use both Phlogger and AWSTATS.
(I don't know why, doctors are still trying to figure it out! :D )
