Alternative to Google Analytics?

Statcounter looks pretty good. I am going to give it a try also.

 

I wouldn't really worry about Google having their 'fingers in your pockets'. They're already basically filling you pockets, when it comes to traffic!

Good to know. I think I'll take a look.

 

Are there any similar packages (similar to GA) that you can run on your own servers?

 

I will highly recommend using addfreestats.

 

Statcounter for me

 

I have heard GA is free but what exactly do they mean when they have this on their site before you actually sign up?

(5M pageview cap per month for non AdWords advertisers.)

If hit the cap, what they wont track no more til the next month or will they start to charge you something.
