    I use statcounter. It tells you the country of origin (useful for spotting click fraud), the actual engine and the exact term used to arrive on your site.

    The best I've come across is in my sig. It packs a PUNCH for a low price; if you think you can install it onto one of your own webservers. It's not that bad either if they host it. They have a free trial.

    Are you referring to a traffic log, or a split-tester software? I'm assuming you mean you're wanting a script that will allow you to track where sales are coming from, what keywords are leading to sales, etc.

    I use www.adtrackz.com

    It's a simple script, but serves its purpose quite nicely.
