Excellent!
I tried many plugins to log the hits on my sites that were experiencing high server loads, and this one is just what I was looking for. It is light weight, shows the data in sortable columns, has a lot of possible column views that you can choose to hide or show in the Screen Options. I like that I can see the IPs and the pages they hit and how often, such as the login, and other backend attempts. Blocking these in my .htaccess has cut my server load quite a bit. I also find the layout easier than my host server logs.

Version 3 is Awesome
I had no idea how many bots were visiting my website until Traffic Monitor updated to version 3. Not only that, but I can actually track when people visit my site after clicking on a Google search ad. Pretty sweet for a free plugin!

Just a traffic log - as I needed
Around many plugins called "traffic logs, traffic monitor" - this one really logs traffic on website in a clear and simple way. And is free. Is simple as i was expected to be - a traffic log. Just like a access.log in apache - nothing more, nothing less.
