It always amazes me when customers don't look at their data. And it's usually the most frantic who never look at it once it's live. But Loglooker decided to look for them:

A year after publishing her website my client didn't seem to be getting much from it. I decided to investigate... I looked at her stats and logs and then her email... turns out a years worth of her request quote forms had been arriving in a catch all email account that was never given to her to check... Good news: her site was very successful! Bad news: hundreds of info requests for her products... ugh!
