Finding Buried Treasure - Built-in Usage Reports in SharePoint and Search Server

If you have a web site, you need usage reports. You need to know how often people are visiting, what they're looking at, and where they're coming from. While this information is a kind of buried treasure in and of itself, I'll also show you how to get to some "bonus" usage reports in Microsoft Search Server.

All of the SharePoint Products and Technologies have some form of usage reporting built in. While they don't have the flexibility or detail of a dedicated reporting system, SharePoint's reports can still provide you with a lot of useful information. What you get, however, varies considerably from product to product - and sometimes even from template to template within the products.

Get the whole scoop on my new site!
