What about when people leave their cookies off? Wouldn't they be rendered basically invisible? I'm not up enough technically to understand fully the effects of the cache-ing and proxies mentioned about AOL... I'm interested, if you've the time/patience to explain it to me... but I do know that with axs, all kinds of weird aol proxies show up, and it gathers information just as it does for others... mainly what you'd need to do is follow the path of the surfer through your site... with the SSI manner of triggering the script, you get a footprint everywhere you go, with all the information the script was able to get (that you set it up to ask for) attached to each step.
I'm making this more difficult than necessary *sigh* I guess I don't see why he couldn't do it with some creative setting up of a standard stats script, LOL.
That was hard, eh
