| Using a database log, you can track a wide variety of important statistics about your users. Many web hosting services offer these kinds of statistics, but they are often not configurable. Using ASP, and your own database tables, you can customize your logs to track anything and everything you want, and display it accordingly. The sample listed above is for this site, and displays information based on user hits. For a private web, username could be tracked, but since this site requires no login, you'll notice that username is 'Unknown' for all entries. The source code involved for this page is listed at the bottom of this page. Aside from the 'usage.asp' page, you will also need to implement the following two code snippets to make it work. The first one is to log connections. The second one logs page hits. |
