| 404 for active page ??
Is this a sign that the server is busy?
These are the awstats for April for »www.adaoflansing.com
Should I be concerned for a 404 where no page exists, like the sitemap.gz? Or is that something that some search engine thinks my sitemap.xml should be stored as?

| Thanks for the reply regarding the sitemap. I am still concerned about the 404s for active pages. It is a new site and the 404s are a large percentage of the hits. If it matters, the site is on a hostgator reseller server. Maybe I should be asking them... |

It also occured to me to ask another question.
When a user clicks on an external link that opens a new window, is that link click logged? We are a local dart league of a national organization and I would like to know when a user is referred to the parent site. I know during the design I clicked on that link, but there is nothing in the stats at all. |

| Server stats don't track outgoing links. You need to implement some kind of click handler, like a transition page that redirects so you can register the click.
The parent site will be able to track who the referrer was, but you can't really tell who you referred to (kind of a privacy issue).
Its relatively easy, just create an "out.php" page, and pass the referral site in the querystring. Do a redirect based on the querystring. The hit to "out.php?site=http://parentsite.url/" will get logged like a regular hit, and you can parse it further from there. |
