Web Analytics

Web Analytics is the measurement of the behavior of visitors to a website. In a commercial context, it especially refers to the measurement of which aspects of the website work towards the business objectives; for example, which landing pages encourage people to make a purchase. Many different vendors provide web analytics software and services.
Web analytics technologies

There are two main technological approaches to collecting web analytics data. The first method,

a. Logfile Analysis
, reads the logfiles in which the web server records all its transactions. The second method,
b. Page Tagging, uses JavaScript on each page to notify a third-party server when a page is rendered by a web browser.
