Any good website traffic analysis solution?
I used to use CNStats to get advanced traffic reports for my websites, but recently because of some problems I can't use it anymore. So I'm looking for an affordable alternative. I thought you guys might know and use a good program or script.
Here are the features I'm looking for: - Most visited web pages
- Referring domains and pages
- Referring search engines
- Top searched key phrases
- IP addresses of visitors
- Countries with the most visitors
- Browsers and operating systems
- The ability to customize the reports by day, week, and month
So do you know a good hosted website traffic analysis solution that offers these advanced statistic features?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know of any scripts, but statcounter.com is nice for most sites that I work with.

Thank you. Statcounter.com seems like a good solution, but aren't they limited to analyzing the last 100 visitors only? I remember I read something like that on their website.
I have some high traffic websites with hundreds of unique visiotrs every day so if it's so, that would be a problem for me.
Am I right here that StatCounter only tracks the last 100 visitors?

statcounter.com only gives in depth info on the last 100 visitors but it constantly keeps a running total of uniques, returns, and pageviews.

the free version is limited... the paid versions have larger limits.

Google Analytics works well for me and best of all it's free!

NetIQ (WebTrends) and Omniture (SiteCatalyst) are the big boys in this space...

My web host tigertech.net provides all sorts of great data and all the things you specified at the start of this thread and their hosting is the best value for money i've seen around.
Not always ideal to change hosts just for stats though

Google Analytics
I submitted a request to google analytics about two months ago.. I finally received the invitational code 3 weeks ago.. and I really like it. It costs nothing and the best web alaytics tool I've used so far.
Great graphs, and tons of different reports..
For free.. I think its as good as it gets..
THe ONLY thinkg that concerns me is the trade off of using their anayltics program and the information they get from it. I think its a good trade off for me, at least for now.

that's what has me concerned too... i don't think they should have that much knowledge about my site(s). Anyone else feel that way? and if not... why not?

I built a tracking site called whatsclicking.com, but since google analytics came out.... well, you know the rest.

I htink it's a fair trade and knowing oogle you know you won't get screwed somewhere along the line. Besides any other tracking systems online keep the same data but aren't as trusted as google. The only solution to this problem would be to use programs. But that takes up space and all these other things. Personally I think gogle analytics is the best choice.
Thank You

I still think google has enough knowledge without me giving them everything about my site as well... including how people find me in other search engines just to name an example.
there are other companies I think I can trust more... ones that don't have other agendas involved with my data.
