Spider Tracks© Access Log Analyzer Script




Spider Tracks© is an access log analyzer script written in Perl that allows you to monitor the activities of themajor search engine spiders - such as when they last visited your site and to what extent they are crawling it. The program will also optionally log the search query entries used by people who find your site via the search engines, output a simple search word frequency table, a list of search engine user entry point pages, and more. It will also optionally log which browser programs your visitors have been using on your site. You can also choose to have the results sent to you by EMail, so if your host offers CRONTAB services, you can have the program run in the middle of the night when it won't tie up your host server.

SpiderTracks© requires that your site run on an Apache-based server and that you have access to your access log files. See the "readme.txt" file included in the package for complete installation instructions and documentation.

Spider Tracks© is provided at no charge. If you use and enjoy this software, please place the following link on your site's main page, or on a page that is directly linked to your site's main page:

Webmasters! Is Your Site Getting Enough Search Engine Traffic?

How well does your site rank in the major search engines? Studies show that over 80% of first-time visitors find websites through the popular search engines like Google, Yahoo! and MSN Search. If your site isn't designed right, it won't show up when users are looking for the products, services, and information you make available through your website. I offer a Free Search Engine Evaluation that will check your site's presence and performance on the major search engines. You'll see what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and what you could do better. See Rainbo Rick's Search Engine Services and sign up to get your Free Evaluation today!
