Re: [Summary-Talk] WebSTAR V logging advice

[Karl Schroll <schroll@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was using "SymbolicLinker", 
http://seiryu.home.comcast.net/symboliclinker.html, a handy 
contextual menu plugin.  I was not using the command line version.  I 
wasn't "mixing" aliases and sym. links.  Switching all of these to 
Aliases did work, however.  Thank you.

On another topic, how can I track multiple domains that point to the 
same site?  For example, http://www.winterpark-info.com and 
http://www.mountainbikecapitalusa.com are the same site, and the 
client wants to know how much traffic is coming from each domain 
because they promote the domains differently.  Thank you.
