How does web stat analysis work?
Technically, WebmamaStat works like this:
- You decide which web pages you wish to track and add the WebmamaStat script to those pages.
This is done simply when you create your new web pages; we will provide with some simple few lines of code where you need to add them on your web page.
- A user visits your web page(s) for the first time.
Depending on your site and the user's preferences, a JavaScript is generated and sent to the user’s browser to collect the data you need. A unique cookie is generated for the user and stored on their computer. This is a standard procedure on the internet, utilised by every site that needs to identify a user as a unique person, for example, Google.com or Hotmail.
The WebmamaStat cookie is tracked over long periods of time, so returning unique visitors to your site can be identified.
When a visitor clicks on your site, WebmamaStat looks for a cookie. If a cookie is found the user is identified as a 'returning visitor' and their clicks are recorded along with any previous visits to show their lifetime click stream on your pages.
1. The information collected in step 2 is pre-processed.
2. The statistics are updated with the processed data in real-time giving you up-to-the minute information.
3. All this information is stored in a secure database on our servers. Your statistics are non-public and password protected admin area. You can access them through any internet connection. |
