hi Jerry,

thanks for your reply, well of course a perfect solution does not
exist, however don't you think that cookies are a more accurate way to
track visitors?
I mean with log files cached pages are not tracked and someone says
that cached pages can even be more than 50% of all page views while
with cookies you can have a better look at returning visitors .
Cookies problem is only that some are deleted so you cannot analyze
all the visitors of your site but by a qualitative point of view ,
cookies data are more accurate.
Of course a user can browse from different user agents, so the best way
would be a log-in page and then a session but not all websites can
require a registration.

By the way , which software do you use for your log analysis ? and for
tracking sales?

TIA

johnny
