Good things and not so good things.
A good thing is finding out that your site experienced record visitors and page views yesterday. A not so good thing is determining that the bulk of the page view increase was due to a triplet of Google’s unmanned page scrapers hammering your site quite a bit more than is generally acceptable. A good thing is having server log analysis software that is flexible enough to make the above determination very easily. A not so good thing is having to routinely add IP addresses into the host filter in your server log analysis software in order to get visitor and page view statistics that accurately represent your traffic. A good thing is finally managing to get those accurate statistics after all. A not so good thing is remembering that the reason you need those accurate statistics is because you’re attending an all-day company offsite meeting tomorrow. A good thing is being finished for the day. A not so good thing is the process taking longer than you expected, losing track of the time and being really late for supper with your family.
