Just to add in a few other commands that will help a little more

tail -f <logfile> &

This will allow you to still use the console (ie do other stuff) and the log tailing will still work

also another good one which will get rid of alot of the noise in the log file (like images etc) is

tail -f <log file> | egrep -v "jpg|png|ico|css|gif|js|feed|rss|Slurp|GoogleBot|ms nbot"

This will also not sure bots indexing your site, they usally hit in batches, and might load upto 100 pages in a few minutes, so it's a good idea to filter them out as well.
