OT: Web log stats for rogers.com hosted sites?

Hi,

- From what I know, most traffic trackers work by forcing the browser to
request an image or other content from a server which then logs the
requests using a CGI script or equivalent. The server could be hosted by
a different provider. I believe there are some "free" services like this
out there, or one can set up a simple server for this purpose on his/her
own computer (even by using, say, DynDNS.org).

Another solution would be to use JavaScript to detect the same (or more)
information and then transmit it to another server in the form of a get
request for logging (trackerimage.gif?data=value&moredata=value2).

Not sure what you mean by that, so if I repeated what you had in mind,
please ignore.
