123LogAnalyzer contains a unique system of filters that allow you to drill down and really get to grips with your web log data.
These filters allow you to isolate, separate and exclude different sets of data, giving the user the ability to focus only on the relevant information, without it being hidden by "general information".
Examples of usage include calculating the effectiveness of an online marketing campaign, finding out how search engine promotion increases your web site's traffic, tracking visitors from specific countries or regions, tracking visitors who accessed specific web pages/files on your web site... and much more!
You have the power to find out anything that happens on your web site!
What other log analysis software CANNOT do
Some other log analysis applications (even the more expensive ones) claim to have "filters". But using their filters only gives you basic traffic information on specific pages, but can not tell you other aspects of the visitor's behaviour.
123LogAnalyzer's filters let you perform an in depth analysis of your visitors, critical for a successful online marketing strategy.
For example, let's suppose that you ran an ad campaign, and generated a lot of traffic to the "SpecialOffer" page of your web site. By using other software's filters, you can easily learn the number of hits to both your "SpecialOffer" page and your "OrderNow" page, but these two numbers are not related and they cannot tell you anything about the visitors' behaviour. By using a 123LogAnalyzer page filter on the "SpecialOffer" page, you can see the whole picture of these visitor's actions.
You can see how many of them also visited "OrderNow" page, how many of them left after only viewing the "SpecialOffer" page, how long they stayed on your "SpecialOffer" page, how many of them also viewed other pages on your web site, how many of them came from the United States, how many of them are from Canada, how they are navigated through your web site... and much, much more. If you want to know something, 123LogAnalyzer can help you find it!
