Dear Antonio,
Thank you.
Can you please describe in a few words what analyzes and benefits Google gives us?
Or can we get similar statistics with pure mod harbour, too?
Best regards,
Otto
Dear Otto,
We use mod_harbour with some DBFs (where you can store date, time, IP, etc.) and no need for Analytics 
Dear Antonio,
that is exactly what I do.
Thank you.
And I also look inside the Apache protocols.
DBF rocks the web!
I used MDB with ASP back when I did more web programming.
MDB I always used in DBF way. One MDB for one table.
And now thanks to you, we have DBF also on the web.
DBF is so flexible.
Up to 2017 I had an ASP blog. Yesterday I imported all the records from MDB to DBF and have now all in mod harbour.
It is funny what small pictures we had. For to day they look like stamps.
Best regards,
Otto
Harbour rocks!

I think you can not trace the amount of hits that a image, button of link has on you site only in Harbour ? You need Analytics for that ??

If you own a website probably you may like to know certain information pertaining to your website for eg:-
- 1. How many visitors were there on your website during a particular period?
2. From which country are they from?
3. How much time did they spend on your website?
4. Which is the most visited page on your website?
5. How many new visitors? How many returning visitors ?
6. What kind of devices were used by the visitors ie Mobile phone OR Tablet OR Desktop ?[/list:u]
These are some of the advantages of using Google Analytics. I am sure that there are much more useful information too, I just listed some of them

Hello Anser, hello Mark,
I use Logs Viewer on my APACHE server, too.

But also the mod harbour functions give you much information about your users.
And you can insert eventhandlers into your page where you can log whatever you want.

? "AP_UserIP() --> cUserIP returns the IP, as string, of the client"
? AP_UserIP()
? "<HR>"
? "AP_HeadersIn() //--> Hash returns a hash with all headers pairs, key and value"
? AP_HeadersIn()Yes, you can view most of the things by analyzing the logs of the server using a log analyzer tool. What I understand is that the result that you see on the Logs will be an inflated result.
Logs include all page requests to the server. These ‘requests’ can include more than what we think of as viewing a web page. These requests can include images downloaded to be viewed on the web page and file downloads that can include ‘scripts’ from the code of the web page - not actually the web page. You have to take it with a pinch of salt
Dear Anser,
Yes, you are totally right. It also depends a lot on the webpage you are making.
Webpages like ours have an average of between 100 and 200 hits a day. You don't need many statistics here. The amount is just too small.
What might be interesting is to integrate the messenger from FB?
https://www.facebook.com/business/goals ... -messenger
Do you have experience with that?
Simple access statistics are important, otherwise you can't know whether someone is interested at all.
Best regards,
Otto
I still forgot one thing.
I practically never incorporate Analytics.
Why does google give us the Analytics tool for free?
There's a saying here:
You get what you pay for.
Maybe we pay more than we get?

True, nothing comes free in this world
