PRIMUS customers automatically receive web traffic reports for each website or vhost they have on PRIMUS servers. A cumulative report is generated daily which breaks down the usage of the month to date. This report is available to you over the web by going to a sub directory of your website called reports. So if your domain were 'mydomain.com' the URL you would go to would be http://www.mydomain.com/reports. You will be asked to log in to see the graphical report, to do so you should use your NT Virtual Host username and password.

How to Read PRIMUS NT WWW Reports

All PRIMUS customers with web pages automatically receive daily cumulative traffic reports.

The report summarizes all "hits" on your web site and also provides detailed reports with daily visit trends, daily usage summary, usage by day and by hour, top visits by organization and country, and Browser Market Share information.

Reports include the following information and references:

HitAny connection to an Internet site, including inline image requests and errors.

RequestA hit that successfully retrieves content. Requests don’t include inline image, ad view, or ad click requests or errors. Request counts are conservative because browsers and many Internet gateways intercept some requests before reaching the server, and these cached requests are never logged.

VisitA series of consecutive requests from a user to an Internet site. If your log data includes referrer data, then new visits begin with referring links external to your Internet site. Regardless of whether or not you have referrer data, if a user doesn’t make a request for a certain period of time, the previous series of requests is considered a completed visit.

OrganizationA commercial, academic, nonprofit, government, or military entity that connects users to the Internet, identified by an entity’s Internet domains. Microsoft Site Server Express Analysis groups together all domains registered to the same organization as one organization. If a domain is unavailable in the database, one Internet domain is used to identify one organization.

Request durationThe time between two consecutive requests within the same visit. Microsoft Site Server Express Analysis assigns the last request of a visit a request duration of 0 seconds because its actual duration can’t be determined.

Visit durationThe time between the first and last request of a visit. This time doesn’t include how long users viewed the last request of a visit.

GeographyThe continent, country, region, state, city, and Zip code are based on an organization's Internet domain registration. Only Internet domains found within the Analysis database are included within region, state, city, and Zip code report documents. Each Internet domain is associated with only one Zip code, so all users from a domain used in multiple locations are considered to be at one location.

Browser market ShareThis portion of your report shows the breakdown of which browsers visit your website.
