Another great feature of AWStats is the ability to identify the country of the user accessing the web. Have you launched an advertising campaign say in Poland? AWStats will give you a graphical outline to tell you whether access from the given country has increased thus giving you an idea on how efficient the campaign is.

There is a lot more left that is worth mentioning in connection with AWStats, as there is indeed a lot to offer. To conclude the brief showcase there is a statistics of preferred operation systems and web browsers used by our visitors.
