I have access to the raw server logs. And I do not use a database, although
my host says I have MySQL.

I find it easier to just use the free eXtreme stats (but this is just for
the main page, of course). My site: criticanarede.com. My site is PHP
enabled, although I only use PHP for the GuestBook. I use a funny trick with
JavaScript to display the same headers and footers across the entire site --
I could do it with PHP but I like to edit locally in my WinXP machine.

One might think this kind of script would be widely available -- it is so
very informative to display the most popular pages in one's site! Alas, I
could not find any.

Any help would be appreciated and we can talk business. I am willing to pay
for a nice solution. I can list those index pages that should not be part of
the Most Popular Pages.

Best,

Desi
