Well if you have an wap or mobile website then you might be thinking of what kind of users are coming to your wapsite or what are the devices and operating systems which they are using well wap sites or mobile websites are different from the general websites and it is really difficult to track the visitors clearly , yet there are some ongoing efforts which are making this happen this post is all about it only.If you think that statcounter.com and google analytics can do so at present then it is a wrong belief they do track them but not fully.

Why wap website tracking >
