    Being from Google I ask if Analytics is the best conversion tracking method to track adwords clicks ?

    I use adwords and i need to know if the person who buys from my store is someone that came from adwords or from another place

    Can i also know if he didn't come from adwords, where did he came from ?

    I'd like to know the areas that are generating more sales so i give them more priority in advertising

    It's probably the best free solution out there.

    What are some other options? I hate Google and I don't want them to have access to my site's traffic information, nor my conversions, nor anything really.

    What alternatives are there, both free and payed?

    Something under $250. One time license fee (no subscriptions.) Preferably for my whole webserver and not just by domain.

    I doubt you'll get anything even close to Ganalytics for that price. Most of the other solutions I've used that have a robust feature set are thousands+ per year.

    Others may have some suggestions.

    Sounds like there's a nice whole in the market then. Perhaps theres room for some more competition. I'll have to do some market research on this. Thanks for the idea. Green rep coming your way ;)
