I made myself a little application that tells me my traffic statistics:
http://sts.siteuri.ro
If you wanna take a look and make suggestions, I'd love to hear from you.
However, my specific question is how can I check for the Mozilla browser, or indeed if I should do so since presumably most users have updated to firefox.
I've got a bunch of User-Agents that start with mozilla (and are not a major browser) I'm not quite sure what to make of them.

fisrt of all when you click on a link for a site you go to a page that says here are the statistics and nothing else. It tooke my 6 tries to finally see the link above to actully see information. You might want to add this in to the starting statistic page to let people know. Or maybe I'm just a moron who doesnt know what he is doing. If I made that mistake though I'm sure that there are others that will do the same. The problem fixes itself as soon as the user figures it out the first time.
Also you have several section that do not have any information or are not allowed to be viewed by the public. Why not exclude this information, that way the user only see's what has information and what he is allowed to see.
And you have I am thinking # of views and the %. YOu should probably put a post above to let the user know what the numbers are. Remember most people are not as computer literate as you and will be confused on almost everthing.
On a side note, there are already many software packages that do this for free. Why not just download, install and modify instead of redesigning the wheel.
Other than that it looks good and I would problably use it.

I'd love to see what keywords bring traffic to my competitors' websites, so you bet I'm not giving away this information about my site. However, I do want people to know my application has this information. It would be a pretty dumb application if it didn't.
I tried other software. It either showed too little informtaion or flooded me with hundreds of (irrelevant) referrers or search strings.
I must admit I didn't really think about usability, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I was surprised that MSIE was s far ahead of firefox and others /
Is that normal ?
