Why not use click-stream analysis software that is out there? My ISP offers the log-analyzer
FunnelWeb from Quest. It does not add any overhead because it parses the log files offline (and
makes some assumptions about sessions) to track individual users through my site.
I dont know how expensive it is, but there is a free download. I am not affiliated with Quest, but I
have become a big fan of FunnelWeb.
