I sometimes use a fairly recent version of Webalizer (now that I check, it
*is* the most recent version) to analyse logs. I suspect that visit counts
in Webalizer differ widely from the figures reported by AWStats due to
handling of requests for feeds. Has anybody noticed the same behaviour? It's
as though the definition of a "visit", let alone detection of crawlers,
makes the term very subjective. What is it that people consider a visit if
one tool reports numbers twice as big as the other's.
Thanks for any insights,
Roy
