[thelist] Web site statistics

[Zoe Oughton]

Hi everyone

Does anyone have an idea as to how reliable web site statistics obtained
from hosting companies are?

Stats for my site are obtained via my hosting company and they use Analog to
produce the stats.

I find the information obtained very interesting and informative.

My organisation produces a large number of reports which users can download
free from our web site as pdf files, the statistics show that 1,000's of
reports are downloaded and I am interested to know if these figures can be
regarded as reliable.

Thanks

Zoe
