Brian,

It would be pretty straight forward to tag the pages with Google 
Analytics javascript.

You would then have very detailed information regarding exactly which 
pages are getting traffic, how much traffic, how the pages were found 
(e.g. search vs. referring link), which keywords were being searched 
for when finding your pages, where the traffic is coming from (e.g. 
which referring sites), navigation paths within your site, which 
pages 
they leave your site from (i.e. didn't find what they were looking 
for?), what the geographic composition of the traffic is, browser 
capabilities, etc.

You could track to your heart's content, refining and shaping the UKB 
to maximize the user experience. Or, you could just track the very 
basics to have an idea of general page popularity and overall traffic 
patterns.

Opening an account is free and can be done from the link below. Note 
that while most of the information regarding the site is targeted 
towards advertisers selling a product on their own websites, this is 
not a requirement and Google Analytics is used effectively by blog 
writers and non profit sites too.

P.S.  If you were serious about ever writing that book that you 
alluded to in another post, this information would quickly tell you 
what to include in your chapters!
