    I use Google Analytics for WordPress - This plugin easily adds your Google Analytics tracking code (the new ga.js one!) to all pages within your blog. That's it's main functionality, it adds a few "extra's" though:

    Tagging outgoing links

    Many people are using javascript solutions to tagg all their outgoing links with an onclick urchintracker. That has two huge disadvantages:

    1. It's slower than serverside tagging of outgoing links
    2. It's impossible to segment outgoing links

    This plugin adds the possibility to tag and segment all outgoing links, so you can see whether a click came from a comment or an article. You can choose where it tracks those links too! It also adds the possibility to track just the domain, instead of the complete link, so you get a better view of how much traffic you're sending where.

    Is nt these functions enough for you?

    You could also use Wassup plugin for Wordpress but I think Google Analytics is much better

    I use All in One Webmaster, which handles both my Analytics and my WebTools (as well as Webtools for Bing and Yahoo). Simple, straight forward, easy, lightweight... yeah, right up my alley!

    Jodie has a great how-to blog about it. If you google for "Jodie Recommends" its currently her blog's top/most-recent post.

    i use wassup.

    but guys, why the stats between analytics and wassup arent the same? for example if wassup shows me 1000UV, analytics 100...!?! and yes, i disabled the tracking of my visits, and the ones from the crawler/spiders & co.
