I was wondering if anyone else had crafted up a similar tool to this, it's a screen dump of my "Realtime Monitor":
Each page view inserts a few values into a database, than I use some JavaScript to access a script that queries the database and refreshes my screen every few seconds.
Ii takes Google referrers to bits to work out the keywords the visitor used and which page they saw us on, it really gives me an insight into what is happening on my site this very moment.
That picture above just happened to show a pretty busy minute, I want every minute to be at least that busy!
The seconds column in there shows how long it took the server to do what it needed so I can find and fix slow downs.
I've already started making use of the data being collected by getting a list of the thousand most popular search terms to our site, I've added these links in rotation in place of ads on some of the other sites I run. I know we rank for those terms already but ranking higher would be nice!
I know I can get aggregated data from WMT but I prefer this as it lets me see what is happening when it's happening.
If I make the script available would anyone want a copy at no charge?
