    My awstats just sucks, it stops recording visitor stats which is pissing me off...

    I need something better to put on my site.. any idea?

    Don't blame AWStats for that! The AWStats database must be updated daily by a process that is automatically run by the Task Scheduler (Windows) or cron (Linux).

    If this does not happen, the AWStats database is not updated. Just ask the people (hosting company ?) taking care of your Task Scheduler/cron to correct their error.

    Awstats is preferred by many above GA, because the stats from Awstats makes your site look better. Google is very critical in its stats.

    Are Awstats stats public?

    Analytics is private, which I like.

    Sitemeter is public, however.

    I only use google analytics. I prefer that the stats are not inflated. I prefer to look at analytics stats when I am buying sites as well.
