    What is the best tracking tool or software I can use to track traffic to a website? It should not be very expensive but has to be as accurate as possible.

    Thanks in advance to all who answer.

    I agree with using Google analytics. It provides you with information such as which countries your visitors come from, how many visits are original and how many are referals etc. Another good tool to use is alexa.com.
    This website provides you information in regards to your overall traffic ranking.

    Good luck!

    Google Analytics would be the best tool for that. It gives comprehensive traffic info. I've been using it to analyze my site.

    I would not say GA the best tracking software. Omniture is one of the best tracking software

    google analytic + several log analizers. That is the best kit and you will have good results for it
