I currently track my stats with analog 6.0, it comes with dreamhost but it seriously sucks so much. Do you know of any other stats tracker that I can install on my server? (free) I have found a few but they are limited to some amount of traffic, and some of my sites exceed their maximum traffic.

Google analytics ( google.com/analytics/ ). Fantastic free stats, and I don't think there is a limit on traffic.

I'll try the first one.

I've heard a lot of bad things about awstats, such as uniques multiplying themselves by a lot and therefore not showing accurate stats. Tell me more about them please (I'm about to Google it though).

I've been a mint user for a while now and I think it's fantastic, especially for the small $30 licensing fee.

What do you mean? I want to track ALL my sites not just that one. Stats is a very important thing for me.

I used to use awstats but I changed to visitors because it tells me more things I want to know and less things I don't really care about. It runs every 15 minutes on my server without gobbling resources, and it outputs in html.

Google Analytics is the way to go. Free with a Adwords account.

A brief review as follows.

Site Overlay
This screen allows you to navigate your site while viewing traffic and conversion data for each link. The exit rate for the page is shown above your site's overlay on the upper right corner. The blue and green bars are graphic indicators of clicks and quality, respectively, for each link on the page. Click on any set of blue and green bars to view metrics for that link:

Content Summary
Has my content become more or less effective at retaining visitors? This report shows whether site entrances, bounce rates, exits, and pageviews have increased or decreased from a previous date range to the current date range. Define your starting (earliest) date range on the lower calendar; define your current or ending date range on the upper calendar.


Marketing Summary
Have my marketing efforts become more or less effective? This report shows the increase or decrease in visits and conversion rates associated with your top five sources (such as search engines and referral sites), top five keywords, and top five campaigns.

Visitor Summary
Visitor Summary
The four graphics in this report provide a quick snapshot of visits to your site. Shown are:

the total number of visits and pageviews your site received, the average number of pageviews per visit (P/V), and the number of visits and pageviews over time. Averages are calculated over the entire selected date range including dates not yet elapsed when applicable.
the number of first-time visits and returning visits
the cities from which the most visitors come to your site
your top referral sources.

From this, your marketing efforts are so much clearer.
1. Know where they are and do long tail ads
2. Try to make the exit page sticky.
3. Give more on the entrance page
4. Know what they clicks most and give more offerings.
5. Know what keywords they search to reach your site.

Is there any other way to use Google Analytics without having an Adwords account?

Yeah, before I think you needed to get accepted, now it's free. But anyways, are visitors the same thing as uniques?

I love Mint! I just hope they will soon find a way to incorperate it so you don't need to add it to every page, other then that it's 100% Worth it.

Sorry, but because I run so many different websites, buying $30.00 mint liscenses makes no sense to me. Absolutely stupid. I am perfectly happy with my awstats.
