That's not really PRTGs field - you might want to use tools like Piwik or Google Analytics. They offer a very deep insight into the visitor behavior.

Ok, the idea is, when our web-server get hit ... so we can monitor how many users access ..so we cam simply do the analysis with single dashboard and report on PRTG for the management to prof it.

Okay, if it's only that, you can use the apache status modstatus sensors :) Either PerfStats or Totals. Note that you have to enable server status for that. Make sure they're only reachable by PRTG and hosts that need it: 

<Location /server-status>
    SetHandler server-status
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Satisfy Any

    Allow from prtg.mydomain.local

    AuthType basic
    AuthName "Apache status"
    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/passwd-server-status
    Require valid-user
</Location>

Passwords can be configured within the sensor settings, in case you consider it a necessity :)
