Best way to track traffic across multiple domains?

[WildCard]

Hello-

I was wondering if there is a way to log traffic and hit info across mutiple domains. As it is I have a sale page on all my domains, each site has log info, which I have to go to each log individually.

Ideally, I would like it where when someone goes to domain1.com, it forwards them to www.mainsalesdomain.com/domain1.cgi or something like that - logs the hit, logs the visitor info. Then I would be able to goto the admin page at www.mainsalesdomain.com page, check out what sales pages got the most exposure, from what IPs or countries, etc.

Does this makes sense? Ideas would be appreciated.

Hello , this makes sense. Please contact on PM for further details over this. Thank you.

Well, I appreciate your energy, but I would assume that there is already a solution to this - having a custom solution made for it wouldn't be the most economical.

How about just reading the raw server logs?

They'll tell you EVERYTHING you need to know.

And then some.

I'm looking for the same!

I heard good of AWstats and Webalizer (the most popular).
However, they seem to provide reports on a domain by domain way.

I have no idea how we can work around that, in order to have both a global view with a list of the domains and the main stats, in a kind of table format, and also have the possibility of expand and see the details for each domain.

Something I always like to recommend is pphlogger from www.phpee.com.

Does just what you what, and the price is right

I think that's close, but not quite.

I was thinking more where you could goto one page (like this phpee.com login page was), but you would see stats for multiple domains. This one spans multiple pages on one site, or that's the impression I got. Am I wrong?

Okay, imagine this, the page in the demo that shows all the hits,

http://www.phpee.com/pphlogger/dspLogs.php

is the result of clicking on a particular domain from a previous screen - unfortunately, you can't see that screen in the demo.

The 'previous' screen lists all your domains showing number of hits, days since last hit etc, etc.

Well worth trying out.

Oooh, I see. Well, I will install it and tell you how it works out. I appreciate your help!

I actually do exactly what you're describing now with my comopany's tracking software. Since I'm an employee, I get to put their tracking code on all my personal websites for free.

Unfortunately, our software is as expensive as Hell (minimum $1000 per month) because we target large websites like eBay, GM, HP, TimeWarner, Microsoft, etc.

Now, before we got rolling in enterprise web analytics, we had a scaled down version called "SuperStats." Actually the product that we sell today to big enterprise WAS superstats, but we stopped development on the small version and sold it to Network Solutions. You can find it at http://www.mycomputer.com

If you're using Superstats (...and this will probably work with any web analytics solution) all you have to do is put the tracking code on your landing page and the referring domains report will show you which names are driving the most traffic. Alternatively, you can add the code to all of your domain pages (I assume you use invisibel framesets to do your URL redirects...just embed the code there) and get full tracking on each name PLUS aggregate tracking. The later is what I do.

The reports are really nice, but I have no idea how much SuperStats costs these days.

Ah! You're the guys that bog sites down with javascript, and try to hide the fact that you're tracking people's stats by using a domain name designed to look like an IP # at first glance!
