Giving up logging my blog traffic

leave a comment »

I should explain that. I am no longer inserting the blog traffic into my Web server log database. The amount of crap was getting ridiculous, and taking up too much space.

By doing this, I reduced about 50 days of logs from 450,000 rows to 81,000 rows, a better representation of the traffic that my other domains get.

I am continuing to monitor and capture traffic using a combination of AdSense counters, the built-in logging capabilities of b2evolution, and StatCounter. These sources will show the traffic that I am interested in, and not lose the true visitors in with the idiots.
