Counting number of Hits on yaws web application

Question

if i have a web application running from a yaws web server, how would i count the number of hits from users to my site?

I have tried to use rudimentary methods of counting the number of lines in the .access file of my site found in the yaws logs like this:

$ cat PATH_TO_YAWS_LOGS/www.my_site.com.access | wc -l

Point me to a better way of finding out how many hits i have received sofar on my site running on top of yaws.

You're lucky, Yaws uses the "Common Log Format" and thus any analytics software supporting Apache should do (for example "Webalizer", as mentioned there).
