Install a Sitemeter widget in your site. It's a good tool to check the number of visitors your site gets. You can also use Alexa to check web traffic.

Thanks since my post I been doing alot of research on the topic, I'm currently using googly anayltics, it works great and it's free. I would definitly recommend it if anyone is also looking to view their website stats

Google Analytics is a must if we speak of detailed statistics and analysis. For a quick, convenient way of data presentation, I'd also recommend looking at Mint. While it costs a bit, reports are presented in a very compact, user-friendly way and the interface is very intuitive.

One way is to grep the logs

Code:

grep '19/May/2009' /var/log/httpd/access_log | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq | wc -l

That shows the number of unique ip's that have visited the site today.

Note, it's not completely accurate. People with certain ISP's and behind corporate firewalls will usually have the same IP address. This will also count spiders and things.

Another somewhat useful tool is google analytics. It's numbers tend to be off by 20-30% but, overall, it is pretty useful for analyzing traffic
