9. What is the difference between DataMine and my log files?
Logfiles have limitations that DataMine overcomes. Log-files are unable to report data to you in real-time - DataMine does. Log-files do not report traffic and sales together which makes it very difficult to correlate- with log files you can not tell which keywords and/or marketing campaigns are delivering sales.   The only way to readily track traffic and sales is with tracking software - like DataMine.
