Web Audit

Web Audit -- Web Audit (WA) is a commercial web stats service similar to Internet Audit Bureau. While it lacks the ability to track hits per day, week, or month, Web Audit is able to track 10 of your most popular pages (25 with the deluxe service -- $25.00 a month). It can also sort your statistics out by number of hits, earliest/latest hit, category, or URL -- and there are even more options with the deluxe service. Both services give you quick insight into the total number of hits your pages are receiving, but at this time WA sorely misses the ability to break the stats down on either a time basis (as mentioned above) or by statistical average. Like IAB and Web-Counter, establishing an account with Web Audit takes no more than ten minutes. Also, unlike Statbot or AccessWatch, there is no strain on your server -- the Web Audit server takes care of all the work for you. As far as disadvantages go, the most important one applies to web sites with a large number of pages -- the 10/25 page limit per account can be quickly exceeded. In addition, many of Web Audit's competitors offer features that are currently missing in WA, including easily resettable stats, graphical representation of hits, customizable reports, and configurable options. Several of these services also offer the same or more features while remaining free for use. Notwithstanding these limitations, Web Audit is another viable candidate for taking on all of your web statistic needs. For a sample Web Audit report, check out The CWSApps List Web Audit Page.
