This section identifies the IP address and/or domain name and their relative activity level on the site. If you do not use WebTrends cookies to track visits on the site, WebTrends cannot differentiate between hits from different visitors of a same IP.
Hits - Number of hits from the specified visitor. A hit is a single action on the Web server as it appears in the log file. A visitor downloading a single file is logged as a single hit, while a visitor requesting a Web page including two images registers as three hits on the server; one hit is the request for the .html page, and two additional hits are requests for the downloaded image files. While the volume of hits is an indicator of Web server traffic, it is not an accurate reflection of how many pages are being looked at.
Visitor - If cookies are enabled, this column will display the cookie from the specified visitor. If cookies are not enabled, and the IP address of the visitor can be resolved, this column will display the resolved IP address of the specified visitor. Otherwise, this column will display the non-resolved IP address of the visitor.
Visits - Number of times the specified visitor visited your Web site.
% - Percentage of hits from the specified visitor.
Use this information to find out which individuals visit your site the most and how frequently they visit.
Geographic Regions - The geographic part of the world where visitors to your web site are located. Two methods exist for identifying the location of a visitor:
WebTrends GeoTrends Database - If GeoTrends is enabled for this profile, the region is determined by searching for a visitor's IP address in this database.
Domain Name - The region can be determined by the domain name. The domain name can be identified if it was logged by the web server or, if it is defined in the Internet Domain Name System, then it may be found using DNS resolution based on the IP address.
Region Not Found - Using GeoTrends, this entry appears when an IP address can not be found in the GeoTrends database.
Region Unspecified - This entry appears when a country code could not be found in region.ini, or when neither GeoTrends nor DNS are enabled, or when DNS is enabled without GeoTrends and a visitor's domain name could not be found.
Visits - Number of visits from the specified geographic region. If a visitor is idle longer than the idle-time limit, WebTrends assumes the visit was voluntarily terminated. If the visitor continues to browse your site after they reach the idle-time limit, a new visit is counted. The default idle-time limit is thirty minutes.
This information can help you meet the needs of your target audience as well as discover new audiences. Consider how you can make the content comprehensive and relevant to an international audience.
Countries - Two methods exist for identifying the location of each visitor:
WebTrends GeoTrends Database - If GeoTrends is turned on for this profile, the location is determined by looking up the visitor's IP address in this database.
Domain Name - The location can be determined by the domain name. The domain name can be identified if it was logged by the web server or, if it is defined in the Internet Domain Name System then it may be found using DNS resolution.
Visits - Number of visits from the specified country. If a visitor is idle longer than the idle-time limit, WebTrends assumes the visit was voluntarily terminated. If the visitor continues to browse your site after they reach the idle-time limit, a new visit is counted. The default idle-time limit is thirty minutes.

Hits - Number of hits to your site from the specified organization. A hit refers to a single action on the Web server as it appears in the log file. A visitor downloading a single file is logged as a single hit, while a visitor requesting a Web page including two images registers as three hits on the server; one hit is the request for the .html page, and the two additional hits are requests for the downloaded image files. While the volume of hits is an indicator of Web server traffic, it is not an accurate reflection of how many pages are being looked at.
Organizations - If GeoTrends is enabled, the name of the company or organization is found by looking up the visitor's IP address in the GeoTrends databse. If DNS domain name resolution is enabled and the domain name for this IP address is found, the domain name will be shown. If neither GeoTrends nor DNS resolution is enabled, only IP addresses are shown.
Subtotal - Sum of all data rows for each listed organization.
Total - Sum of the subtotal and all data that does not appear on the page.
Visits - Number of visits to your site from the specified organization. If a visitor is idle longer than the idle-time limit, WebTrends assumes the visit was voluntarily terminated. If the visitor continues to browse your site after they reach the idle-time limit, a new visit is counted. The default idle-time limit is thirty minutes.
% - Percentage of total hits from a visitor inside the specified organization.
Determine how your Web site can be improved according to how businesses use your site. Consider how your product can be made more attractive to organizations that have shown interest.
This section provides a breakdown by types of top-level domains (Commercial, Organization, Educational, etc.). This information can only be displayed if reverse DNS lookups have been performed, and the percentages refer to the total of hits for which the organization type can be determined (some IP addresses cannot be resolved to a domain, and therefore an organization type cannot be determined).
Hits - Number of hits from a visitor with the specified top-level domain type. A hit is a single action on the Web server as it appears in the log file. A visitor downloading a single file is logged as a single hit, while a visitor requesting a Web page including two images registers as three hits on the server; one hit is the request for the .html page, and two additional hits are requests for the downloaded image files. While the volume of hits is an indicator of Web server traffic, it is not an accurate reflection of how many pages are being looked at.
Top-Level Domain Type - The type of organization, determined by the top-level domain (the three-digit suffix of the URL). Possible suffixes and types include the following:
.com = Commercial
.edu = Educational
.int = International
.gov = Government
.mil = Military
.net = Network
.org = Organization
Visits - Number of visits to your site from the specified type. If a visitor is idle longer than the idle-time limit, WebTrends assumes the visit was voluntarily terminated. If the visitor continues to browse your site after they reach the idle-time limit, a new visit is counted. The default idle-time limit is thirty minutes.
% - Percentage of total hits from someone from the specified organization type. The percentages refer to the total number of hits for which the organization type can be determined. Some IP addresses cannot be resolved to a domain, and therefore the organization type cannot be determined. This information can be displayed only if DNS resolution is enabled.
Consider what types of organizations are most interested in your site and how you can attract other types.
