Web Logs and querystrings?

I have just started building my own little scripts for stats...

As far as referrers I have done a good job so far....

I figured out how to ignore a page request from my own site (in other words
a link to another page will be treated as a referral by the browser and thus
list it).

My next thing is to make a 'supergroup' by domain, such as all
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.google.com..." target="_blank">www.google.com...</a> then when you click on that it will show the words
searched for...and link to google iteslf with that query string to see what
the surfer saw when they searched for it..

I was also able to log browsers, but have to figure out about 'listing' the
bots elsewhere in a different list...

Got a list of each page accessed and total number of pages accessed.

Kinda of cool, but a bit of work figuring it all out...
check it out here....

This is just my first attempt, so no graphics and all that.. just some
simple code and php/mysql querying and updating..

William, I realise this is Makro's favourite saying, but my weekly log
files are 685058518 bytes! Access can not handle this number of
records.

However, one can find lots of Perl scripts for analysing log files
(it's something does very well, funny that? <g>)

Or how about Analog? It's free and can cope with 00's of Mbs of log
file data.

Then use something else - perhaps something a little more grown up.
Although it has to be said that most sites don't pull anywhere near the
traffic that yours does and excel will be just fine for them.

That should do it, as will any language that can process text files.

I guess you like it then?
