Bing vs. Windows Live in Log files

j-z · 08-03-2009, 02:50 PM

I have some client's interested in seeing the search results for "Bing" in their traffic reports. I tell them it's the same as "Window's Live". However, I'm wondering if that can't be switched somewhere so it comes up "Bing" -- at least until the next time Microsoft changes their mind about the name of their search feature.

I'm using the log files to create my reports. I assume the logs would somehow need to change to say Bing, not Windows Live?

I found something about getting this reflected in AWstats, but it seems like something that has to be done server side:

You can put in a support request to get this done. But such things would be overwritten in Plesk upgrades so it wouldn't be stable until Awstats officially supports it.

I scoured a log file in text editor (my head is still spinning) and saw some live.com references. Nothing about bing.com. So I'm wondering if it's all the same, or are the logs not picking up new Bing referrals? Or perhaps this particular log just didn't have any.
I found this: Bing

Thanks for your earlier replies.
