Dear Isidro, I have been carrying out myself some logfile analyses. The most recent one is for a large public utilities operator. The data for the accesses to content pages showed about 18 million requests for 30 days, but when I filtered out spiders I was left with some 15 million and 500 thousands page requests. Should you need more details and/or assistance in dealing with your logfile please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Kind regards, Luca Mr. Luca MEYER Consumer research advisor Via Monginevro 70 - 10050 Salbertrand (To) - Italy Tel/Fax +39.33.55.21.76.28 Web: http://lucameyer.com/ - ICQ#: 289821268

We will access to a large group of log files of several academic institutions to make analysis of the use of the web sites and the behavior of users. We will know about previous similar analysis and especially general studies dealing with the ratio of visits by robots and the problem of proxys and similar situations specially if offered in quantitative fashion. Any bibliographic reference or URL will be welcomed.
Thanks in advance,
