Default log analyzer

Hello everyone,

I appologise if this is not the forum for this topic, but I was not sure where to ask this question.

Does anyone know of a good program or website to get web data for website traffic?

Something along the lines of Nettracker but more cost effective. Free if possible :) I am willing to spend for something similar to nettracker, but it is a bit out of my budget right now.

I have found 2 other companies that seem okay.
1) loganalyzer (www.loganalyzer.net)
2) ritecounter (www.ritecounter.com)

Loganalyzer I believe costs about 100 bux, which is not bad, but I could not find many user opinions to feel confident in their service.

Ritecounter is free, but I have read that there are limitations to the data it provides.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, it's bordering on off-topic, but that's ok.

My company uses Google Analytics (formerly Urchin), which is a free (and incredibly powerful) analytics service offered by Google. AFAIK because of high-demand it's invitation only for the time being.

http://www.google.com/analytics/

It works by inserting a JavaScript into all of your HTML documents which loads a script that phones home to Google, which compiles various statistical data. There are two drawbacks to that approach, JavaScript must be enabled, and because it's a third-party website it is possible that the script could be blocked. Personally I like it, it provides a wealth of information. And you can't beat free. :)

Regards,
Rich
