I am trying to create a website which can track/analyze the visitor and gather as much information as possible about the visitor. I have already found services which were not free, but they have provided every piece of information about the user who is visiting the website.
Is there a solution for that which is free yet effective like the paid ones out there? Also, should I use client side or server side scripting? Which is more reliable?
The main reason that I'm trying to gather these information is because I'd like to know more about my website visitors and eliminate the fraudsters or cheaters by analyzing their information. Or is there another good solution for that?
I'm sorry if this is a weird question, I'm quite new in this field this is why I'd like to know more about it.
EDIT: I have already tried Google Analytics, but it is not really good in my case.
If you would like to Geo Locate your visitors, and discover their physical location based off their IP, MaxMind has a great service with a free option.
