Smarterstats from smartertools for log reading. They have a cheap / free version, I think. We don’t use them. Or Google analytics for javascript-based analytics. Definitely free and powerful. Basically, it requires an include on every web page to make it easy to deploy. Only real downside I can think of is that things that are served from your site that don’t result in a page view (think images, downloads) are not easily tracked. We use goog analytics.

We’ve been using HitList Commerce 4.0 since, I don’t know, maybe 2000? to generate web statics reports for our clients’ domains. It was a simple system that produced decent reports emails in a single .RTF file. Recently, however, it broke and I can’t seem to repair it. The makers of HitList, Marketwave, have undergone many changes of ownership over the years and focus now only on very expensive products and services (it was a few hundred dollars when we bought it). So I’m looking at getting something modern. The truth is that I only have a handful of domains who care about this, so I’m looking for something free or very cheap. I’d prefer it to read our IIS logs and then send out emails, but I guess we could adapt to something that just displays a web page. The question is: what’s cheap or free, suitable for hosters (as opposed to end-users) and simple? I’m looking right now at something called JawStats (open source) and also Google Analytics, but I don’t know what’s involved. Any old-timers here with suggestions?
