A method and system for collecting network access information is referred to as Data Farming. A user establishes a user profile which includes a set of unique log on credentials and certain demographic information. The user profiles are stored in a database. Each time a user connects to the network, the user provides their credentials for authentication and tracking. Every time the user accesses the network, the details of the access are logged against the corresponding user credentials as well as the date and time. Network access information includes specific Universal Resource Locator (URL) accessed, the page of the URL, and the parameters passed to the page of the URL. In addition, logging of the actual web page source code for instances where the parameters of the page need to be interpreted. All network access is forced to pass through a logging apparatus consists of either software/hardware on the user's computer or software/hardware in the network or a combination thereof.
