Web statistics

Web statistics provide extremely detailed and useful information about the use of your website. This covers everything from the most (and least) popular pages, to information about your users, and information about how usage changes through time. This information can be used to refine your website through time, and also to measure the effectiveness of your promotional activities.

The University provides a web statistics functionality (called "Urchin") that can easily be added to your website. Urchin is very similar to Google Analytics. The Urchin application is maintained by ICT.
