Updates to WebVisitor.info are posted here regularly so check back often to learn how you can get the best out of WebVisitor.info.




17th July 2007 – WebVisitor.info Sponsor Program Launched

As you all should know by now WebVisitor.info is a fully featured website statistics package, allowing you to track visitors to your website, where they came from, the search terms were used, where in the world they are, what the did, and much more…

At WebVisitor.info we believe website statistics are available to everybody and so have a completely free account that allows anybody to get the benefits of the powerful webstats that are provided by WebVisitor.info.

So to ensure that we can continue to provide this service, and of course continue to improve it, we have launched our new Sponsor Program. This upgrades our previous advertising program (Google AdWords has firmly been given the boot!) and allows us to provide a much better program of sponsorship to our advertisers.

As a User of WebVisitor.info the upside is that we are now carefully selecting which services and products are promoted through WebVisitor.info, so hopefully for all concerned we get our selection right and you might actually find out about useful service or product that you didn’t know about before.

Of course WebVisitor.info members who have upgraded their account can of course disable all sponsorship, so if you are using us to supply stats to one of your customers you don’t have to worry about us showing them our ads. (If you are doing this you may also want to read about how to re-brand the WebVisitor.info stat-viewer with your company’s header and footer html!)

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us via the Contact Support section.




12th June 2007 – Visit Length Report Updated

We have updated the Visit Length report with a new snapshot feature. This takes a snapshot of each of your websites visit lengths on a week-by-week bases and then renders them into a graph. This is really useful for seeing how your visit length trends are developing as can be seen in the example below:

We plan to roll this snapshot type feature out to some of the other reports in time, such as web-browser usage, operating system usage and Visitors Country Location to name a few.




15th June 2007 - New Report: Visitors by Hour of Day

We have added a new report to webvisitor.info called Visitors by Hour of Day. This new website statistics report shows the number of visitors to your website, in both Page Request and Sessions, for each hour of the day. This report works in a similar fashion to the Visitors by Day of Week report. Data is shown in three forms, a data table, bar chart and polar chart as can be seen by the example below.

1st June 2007 - New Report: Visitors by Day of Week

This update contains a new website statistics report that allows you to see how many visitors visit each of the websites you are tracking on each day of the week. This allows you to see on which days your website is on average busy and on which days it is quieter.

27th April 2007 - Website Tracking Home Page Updated

We have updated the Website Tracking Home page so that the Visitor Numbers Summary tab now shows the website visitor numbers for the past seven days and now this data is shown in a bar chart as well as a data table (see screenshot). This is designed to provide you with a more comprehensive overview of the website traffic without you having to go digging through the reports, we hope it helps.

Website Tracking Home Summary Updated

Also the Page Request Activity report has been renamed in the Report Navigation menu to Recent Page Requests, as this more accurately represents its nature.




23rd April 2007 - Website Log Usage Control Updated

We have updated the website log usage control that appears at the top of each page of the website report pages so that if the Session Log is full a link if provided to the help documentation explaining what this means and what actions you can take.

Also in a bid to more fully explain how Website Log space works we have updated the Managing the Log help document and added a new help document for the Website Log Manager.
