Line Item Vito - Web Statistics

2,190,795


	The detail: The number presented on bottom left of each page is an approximation of how many VISITORS have been to LineItemVito.com. But there are problems with this number: All the data prior to September 18, 2005 were lost when I changed web hosting providers (twice), thus the number shown is REALLY how many visitors have been here since 9/18/2005, a serious under-reporting of the true "all time" number. Website traffic statistics are notoriously inaccurate, and those displayed here at Line Item Vito are no different. But we use Webalizer , a very good and widely available traffic collector. That said, the main problem with website statistics is that they are all interpretations of the data collected by the computer(s) that host the website. Also, the data collected are often incomplete for a variety of technical reasons. If you want to know all about those kinds of problems, read these informative articles: Webalizer Basics Jeff Goldberg's (somewhat) famous (and somewhat dated) rant about why web statistics aren't worth the electrons they are printed on Webtrax: Another statistic-gathering tool, for comparison
