The following types of information are often collated when monitoring web traffic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_traffic) :

• The number of visitors
  
• The average number of page views per visitor – a high number would indicate that the average visitors go deep inside the site, possibly because they like it or find it useful. Conversely, it could indicate an inability to find desired information easily.
  
• Average visit duration – the total length of a user's visit
  
• Average page duration – how long a page is viewed for
  
• Domain classes – all levels of the IP Addressing information required to deliver Webpages and content.
  
• Busy times – the most popular viewing time of the site would show when would be the best time to do promotional campaigns and when would be the most ideal to perform maintenance
  
• Most requested pages – the most popular pages
  
• Most requested entry pages – the entry page is the first page viewed by a visitor and shows which are the pages most attracting visitors
  
• Most requested exit pages – the most requested exit pages could help find bad pages, broken links or the exit pages may have a popular external link
  
• Top paths – a path is the sequence of pages viewed by visitors from entry to exit, with the top paths identifying the way most customers go through the site
  
• Referrers; The host can track the (apparent) source of the links and determine which sites are generating the most traffic for a particular page.
