Can we view our website stats? If not, how can we access the raw logs? I am interested in looking at my site stats.

P.S. I signed up for the Google webmaster tools dashboard, but I don't see where it allows you to see the number of hits. I am interested in seeing the breakdown in the number of hits on my various pages.

to view my website stats, I signed up for website tracking service like http://www.statcounter.com/ or http://www.belstat.com/. They'll give you a code that you paste in all your pages. And then you can go to that site that you signed up with, and view your stats.

For example, I signed up with belstat.com, they gave me a code to put in my website (which is a little bit of javascript and an image). And if I want to view my stats, I can go to here.

ahh... the answer to my question... and it may help others:

Improve your site and increase marketing ROI.

Google wants you to attract more of the traffic you are looking for, and help you turn more visitors into customers.

Use Google Analytics to learn which online marketing initiatives are cost effective and see how visitors actually interact with your site. Make informed site design improvements, drive targeted traffic, and increase your conversions and profits.

Sign up now, it's easy -- and free!

(5M pageview cap per month for non AdWords advertisers.)

https://www.google.com/analytics/home

BTW - this was a paid service (unless you are an AdWords customer), which is why I never subscribed before, but I found this article where they said that Google is waiving the fees for non-AdWords customers: Google Dumps Fees For Analytics Tools

Hopefully my statistics will reflect that I'm getting some traffic on www.geauxwebdesigns.com

woohoo!! I love free web tools!

That google link is very useful i tried it out with one of my sites (depressing cause i didnt get many views LOL), but its very good for people who are trying to see how their site is doing and when to improve it etc...
