Abstract
This article deals with several aspects of a marketing-oriented analysis of web log files. It discusses their preprocessing and possible ways to enrich the raw data that can be gained from a web log file in order to facilitate a later use in different analyses. Further, we look at the question which requirements a good web log analysis software needs to meet and offer an overview over current and future analysis practices including their advantages and disadvantages.
