WEB SITE STATISTICS : DESCRIBING VISITORS
|
Web servers record domains and IP addresses, not individuals names or e-mail addresses. There is valuable information that can be derived from the domains associated with where your traffic is coming from. If you look at the top sites accessed by section it will show you the top ten examples of these domains. You may be able to recognize sites by provider (For example, voyageurweb.com is one of VoyageurWeb's domains, and msus.edu is Minnesota State University). Another way to discover more about these domains or IP Addresses is to do a search for them at InterNic. InterNic is a global, nonprofit, global authority where domain names are registered. Though increasingly, with better security in place, this doesn't reveal much information.
