Guided tour of Pathalizer - How it Works
Basically, Pathalizer converts a list of hits (with referer field) into a collection of
pairs. Then, those pairs are used to generate the resulting graph. 2 examples:
| Hits: | Pairs: | Explanation:
|
|---|
url: bar, referrer: foo
url: baz, referrer: bar
| (foo,bar)
(bar,baz)
| Trivial case.
| url: bar, referrer: foo
url: baz, referrer: foo
| (foo,bar)
(bar,foo)
(foo,baz)
| This is obviously kindof heuristic, but probably models the users'
behaviour best (as he probably used tabbed browsing or the 'back'
button). It's suboptimal, but I think it's the best we can do by looking
only at the logging.
