Thank you both and yes, I agree with you Graham. We use our WebTrends results as for our core reporting, but it's very useful to compare the trends with that of Google Analytics. James, I asked that question a while back too when I wanted to move away from our paid for package to a free one. I found out that a lot of people are using AWStats. I have to admit that I downloaded it and tried to configure it - but because the logs we have are from IIS 5, there were real issues with compatibility and in the end I've had to abandon it and go back to using WebTrends. Thanks. Bilkis. -----Original Message----- From: Museums Computer Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Graham Davies Sent: 04 November 2010 11:43 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Google Analytics Morning James, We use BetterAWstats to process our logfiles which we have been using since 2007.

Hi Everyone, A very quick email. Our Google Analytics appeared to be fine but the report for yesterday for all our domains is suddenly 0. I've asked someone else in a different organisation, and they appear to have the same problem. Anyone else experiencing this and/or know why? Thanks. Bilkis.
