Silicon Palms web server traffic

Every Sunday night at midnight the Silicon Palms server, home to a dozen active websites, automatically performs a analysis of the access logs using a software called Urchin 5, to generate very thorough and extremely accurate visitor reports. Urchin 5 is the best in my opinion, and I’ve tried many other similar software, because the reports are generated from the Log files and not from a Java script or some other data base tracking system, which often rely on cookies or small pieces of code imbedded in the pages.
Last week CommodityTrader.com led the pack with 14,766 unique user sessions, followed closely by OffshoreNet.com with 14,079, making up 27% and 26% of the overall web server traffic. WinningStreak.com was a ways back with 6,181. An interesting note is that visitors remain the longest on CommodityTrader.com, sometimes an average of 8 minutes, and read an average of 3 pages.
