    The only way that doesn't add javascript or something similar, would be to look at the log files from your server

    You can view your site stats in your site's cpanel - under awstats

    hope this helps...

    It's very difficult to check out your website activity without adding any external code, but it's not impossible you can go through your log files placed at your server but it's difficult to figure it out.

    Alexa.com - This will show up your website details(visitors, bounce rate, top keywords, countries etc. ) without adding any code to your site.

    Google.com/webmastercentral - This is also good tool to study out your site but this required your site authentication in which you have to upload one file to the root directory for authentication and then you can delete it.

    adding code is nothing to be afraid of. There are lots of Youtube videos on how to do it. It's very easy.

    Depends on if you are using Linux or Windows system. There's program you can use to summarize the access logs from Apache or IIS server. Its pretty useful it you need to track something like how many times an image been loaded to do furthur site optimizations.

    Your website's control panel and log files at your server will only be the other option to check your site's stats without using Google Analytics... :)

    My first question to you is, why don't you want to add GA. It is best free analytic tool that provides you complete analytic solution for your website.

    If still you do not wish to use GA or any other JS code, thet you can simple check your website stats from server log file in your cPanel.

    If you suffer from Google fear, and dont want to install any of their products, there is a great opensource alternative called PIWIK.

    Give it a google(hehe), it involves installing stuff on your server, but its no more difficult than a wordpress installation and its real time, check it out.
