I pipe that through sort -nr to get an idea of the most commonly used
addresses. Some sort of geiop will also help you decide how useful the
visitor may be.

You may also need to look at the archived files ( the
access_log.1, .2.gz, etc ), expand the zipped ones and cat them all into
that command line to get a sample over a longer timespan. In addition if
there are multiple sites on the server, they  may be logging access to
alternate ( but hopefully obvious ) log files. In that case, just add
them to the list of files you're cat'ing in the first step of the pipe.

Hope that makes sense.
