Abstract:
The purpose of the present research is to evaluate the accessibility and
lineament of a Web site through statistical analysis of the site log files
using any available software, and to identify some effective measure of
usage and do prediction of future usage using linear trend line approach.
This Web tracking program also examined the geographic distribution of users
and usage patterns of the Web pages, the peak usage times, etc. In analysing
Web site traffic and to report on activity and volume of visitors, three
most common measurements, hits, page views and user sessions, are used.
After a thorough and periodic study of the reports of TERI's Web page
activity, it is found that TERI achieved a unique milestone of one million
hits during the month of April 2002.
