How do we keep track of our visitors? Most people use a hit counter on their site, but this doesn't give all the information you need if you are marketing a product or service. What can I do, you ask? Where can I go to find the tools I need to create a marketing strategy based on who is visiting my website? The answer is simple, you need tracking software that will tell you everything you need to know to create a marketing plan that will entice visitors to stay and buy something. In today's NetDummy we have tried to provide you with some good software and CGI Scripts to help you keep track of who is visiting your site and what their interests are.

We hope that you find this newsletter interesting and useful.

You know you are from the Bay Area when…

1. You make $100,000 a year, yet still can't find a place to live.
2. Your commute time is 45 minutes and you live 8 miles away from work.
3. You stop asking how much things cost but, ask "How long will it take?"
4. Two-thirds of the people you know are from Boston or New York, but you are living in PST.
5. You know vast differences between Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Cantonese, and Korean food.
6. Your home computer contains mostly hardware/software that is not on the consumer market yet.
7. You go to "The City" on weekends but don't live there because you like your car.
8. You think that "I'm going to Fry's" is an acceptable excuse to leave the office for a while, and your boss does too.
9. Yopu lost your alarm clock. You'll get to work when you get there.
10. You go to an industrial-heavy-metal bar and see two guys get into a fight over what flavor of UNIX is better.
11. You own more than 10 articles of clothing that have hardware/software companies printed on them. Bonus for embroidered stuff.
12. You know where Woz Way, Resistor Ave, and Floppy Dr. are located.
13. You know who Woz is.
14. You know 280 North runs West, and 680 North runs East.
15. Even though Microsoft employs quite a few programmers in the Bay Area, they only work on Powerpoint, and the company is still the embodiment of Satan.
16. Even if their stock IS worth more than yours.
17. You see a billboard that says "FGPA2ASIC" and aren't fazed
18. You need the updated Diamond Monster 3D drivers, you just walk across the street.
19. You have more bandwidth in your apartment or condo than most major universities.
20. You scan yardsales for back issues of "Dr. Dobbs."
21. Your favorite computer reseller speaks only Cantonese.
22. Your workplace vending machines dispense "100% natural twig-bars" right next to Jolt cola and Instant Espresso mix.
23. No one brings radios into work - they just use RealAudio and listen to thedj.com, rebelradio.com, or other out of state stations.
