If your using a windows server I can recommend http://www.whoson.com as I use it. It's a little costly but for windows it's nice that it will auto block hack attemps in IIS. It also allows you to set what it calls "prospects", IE:You tell it anyone who goes to X page from a referal is a prospect. So it's easier to see who is sending you sign ups, etc.
If you are using a Unix/Linux server then AWstats (free) is the only one I have used that I like and it will give you more info then you can shake a stick at. With nice shiny colors too.
But either way there are a ton of free stuff out there. |
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually am on a Windows server, but hadn't heard of whoson before. They're installing AWStats now. The counter is actually an invisible one...so no visible counter, button, etc.
