Any idea why the visitors section when I analyze log files for a website it is reporting a very small amount of visitors? There are many ip addresses present in the log files so I can't figure it out.

According to the statistics there are only two different IP addresses in your log files. Probably you use a load balancer or proxy, so its IP(s) are logged in the IP field instead of real visitor IP.

In most cases load balancers send real visitor IP in header, and it may be logged. If you see many IPs in your logs, maybe these IPs are already logged, but the program doesn't recognize them for some reason.

If you send a sample log from your site to us at support@weblogexpert.com, we'll check what could cause the issue in your case.
