Google Analytics is good and if you want something free, non google, check out statcounter .com Good stats and invisible integration.
You do not need to pay for Google Analytics, I think it is the best. You can find your site information and analyze it.
I agree..Google analytics is the best tools for monitoring our site..it give full information..Thanks to google!!
If you run your own MS based server or VPS AND you are tracking just one site, I recommend SmarterStats. It's free for one site and gives you a lot of deep info such as what particular image is being pulled. That lets me see which image ad is working on CL. You can find it at http://www.smartertools.com/SmarterStats/Free-Web-Analytics.aspx I also use Google Analytics which is a great free tool. It just doesn't give me all the data I want when I need to drill down. I'm not associated with SmarterStats. My $.02.
If your looking to see which keywords are being used, which pages have the most page views and where you traffic if coming from then Analytics is the best tool. Web CEO is a handy tool if your looking to find about keywords, backlinks and optimisation.
Google Analytics is the best Analytics site i've come across so far, but no doubt theres something better out there.
Use analytic according to your requirement. Some time google analytic is good and some time statcounter is good.
You can also install sitemeter to make comparisons between the analytic and sitemeter. so far I have used both it and accurate
I am using google analytics and sitemeter. analytics is for detailed and sitemeter is for quick view of visits. Simeter is not working for me today, am i only one??
