    BT was blind to search-engine statistics until I ran a preconfigured batch file (MssStatImp.bat) that collects the log data and imports it into Microsoft SQL. I executed this once and, using the Windows Scheduler, I scheduled it to run daily. Once the data is imported from logs, BT makes it available through its Web browser interface. This sounds like an awful lot of work, but the results are worth it: BT provides much more than a log analyzer; it includes an analysis and diagnosis of poor search results and strategies for improvement.

    BT's default home page provides an overview of the number of searches (including those with no results, and with results but without clicks), sessions and clicks (links or pages selected from search results). It also depicts search-engine performance in a Performance Map. The map graphs the percentage of searches with results over the percentage of searches with clicks.
