Logging unique visitors
Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2010 6:09 pm
Hello everyone,
The goal: Get daily unique visits on particular advertisements on my website.
In general i wanted to ask, I`ve looked around the web and people are suggesting various solutions. As i understand IP logging is not dependable e.g. there is one WAN IP address for 2 people behind a router, there are many utilities which help you to fake your IP, as well as most ISP`s use dynamic IP`s.
Another suggestion is to make a unique hash depending on IP address, OS, Browser etc., but I`m sure there are quite a few easy ways to send false user-agent headers etc. -> this method isn`t fool-proof aswell.
So i ask, is there even a method which would require a bit more knowledge than few tutorials over the web, to be bypassed?
Thanks in advance.
