    Hello Friend,

    We all mostly use Google anlytics tool for tracking the site. Because it is more user friendly and best in a user point of view.
    But here are few analytics tools you can use for tracking.

    These are:

    1-AWStats
    2-eLogic
    3-Google Analytics
    4-ShinyStat
    5-SiteMeter

    Cheers......

    I will definitely vote for Google analytics, the only reason is the presentation. You can check every dam statistics for your site.

    I vouch for Google Analytics and Webmasters Tools as well. However, I'm interested to hear other sites that are better than the almighty Analytics.

    Some people do not like using google analytics for fear that they are giving google too much access to their website/empire/and so on..... while this is entirely their choice, if for any reason you dont want to use GA, an alternative that has been getting good comments for quite some time now is Piwik;

    Its also open source, so no need to pay for it, URL as below;

    http://piwik.org/

    From my experience so far, and as per the advice of The Keyword Academy.com, I recommend you two awesome tools.
    1. Google Analytics (Most commonly used but its good)
    2. Statcounter.com (very detailed report maker. You can even figure out which keywords are good and which are converting well ...... and things like that)

    StatCounter is a very good "free" service although the free part has some limitations, but I use Clicky for paid service.

    Google Analytics is the best but you can also try StatCounter and HiStats if you want real-time reporting.
