WebTracker is an advanced counter of website visits and visitors.
It tries to identifiy users which are periodically coming back to the website using cookies. Unique cookie ID's are stored in the database. It also saves information about all opened sessions. For each session it saves IP address, hostname, browser type, etc. It the third database is stored information about visited location and in the last database information about robots visiting your website. Program is also capable to determine if user do not use cookies and can handle some unexpected situations like session reset, etc.
All these data could be exported to the tab delimited text files using export modul. Finally those data could be imported to the SPSS using SPSS syntax file.

Now version 1.1 available
Version 1.1 is able to handle the data from WebTracker Utilities. Upgrading to the new version is simple, because WebTracker engine remained the same. Just replace the WT Export Modul and SPSS syntax program file and upgrade is done!
