TeamWeb Reports

Statistics from the Web Central Referer Log


The graph and table below illustrate what links people click on the UT Home Page. I sampled the referer_log from www.utexas.edu to compile this data. The referer_log basically shows which page a person came from. A sample log entry looks like this:

http://www.utexas.edu -> /search/index.html

This log entry indicates someone hit the /search/index.html page from the http://www.utexas.edu URL, essentially they clicked the Search link on the UT Home Page. I selected all hits in a one week time span (September 21 - 27) that came from http://www.utexas.edu/. Percentages are shown rather than raw numbers, because I only grabbed statistics from one of the two Web Central machines.

The pie chart below summarizes the data in the table.

Chart illustrating popular referers from UT home page


The following table is sorted in descending order. Percentages do not sum to 100 because I tossed out any links that accounted for less than one-tenth of one percent. Lab Safety, Events, Directory, Community of Science, and Library links are not included in these statistics because those links point to sites not on Web Central. Those hits will not appear in the Web Central referer_log.
