Here is a link to a free website statistics program that you could install on your server.

http://www.tracewatch.com/beta/

It's still a Beta version.

Why go to all the trouble?

Use Google Analytics? http://www.google.com/analytics

It's free and requires very little setup.

I second that!  Google's system is awesome, and I even have a full statistics package on my hosting package!  =D>

I assume that the Google analytics is depending on that the visitor have java enabled, and if they don't then they are not included in the statistic.

You need to be able to run javascript which most people do.

Your source is pretty empty due to your frames usage.  Do you have this code

Code: [Select]
<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("@#^$%^$%^$%^^$%^$%^$%-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>

Somewhere in one of your includes?
