Counters

I have a counter that counts the no of hits on my site, the problem is this counter is not really accurate in relation to if some one stays online for may be 15 min and happens to go to another page the counter adds one more hit on the counter.txt file. I dont know how to over ride this so that the client as long he is online and he has not closed his user agent the hit remains the same.I think also it has to do with the DASP servers they have set the max time to be 10 min.Please help anyone. Thanks

 

This is really hard to get done right in Classic ASP.
You can use sessions and cookies or both but there will still be some issues.
I can create a page hit package for you to test, or provide some links.
No matter what you do in Classic ASP the fault will still remain on the stateless Internet.
Here's one that is used a lot for Voting and things like that:

Thanks for the quick response
Am kinda using the same principal idea.
What if i use session.timeout naa!!!
There must be a way out.

 

Hey any one please, it looks like a tough nut to crack. any other suggestions. thanks .

 

Sorry for not getting back to you, I'm swamped.

Google around a bit, use my Coops too:

You should be able to find a ton of examples.
If you're still stuck as I said before I'll create something for you.
But I won't be around to do that until sometime next week.
Salute,

Thanks bruce 4 that. i will workout something soon just like every thing else. or may be use DEEPMETRIX LIVESTATS.XSP v7.5.

 

I liked the Idea of the Stats log ive been using this tool for sometime now but the kind of stats it gives me i cant really tell for sure who visited my site e.g a trip for getting an image is recorded too as a hit, but i hope this new service you calling it 'SmarterStats' will change all that and be smarter , by the way i received an email telling me what am using will be discontinued as from 14th. should i disable what am using first hmm ??? and i think i can't use SmarterStats for now. the DEEPMETRIX LIVESTATS.XSP v7.5 tool looks good and more detailed will this SmarterStats be close ???
