You are measuring something different though: with log analysis you
measure hits to resources on your webserver(s), including images,
downloadable files etc. and from JavaScript enabled browsers as well as
other user agents like search engines, with pixel tracking you are
measuring page views by JavaScript enabled browsers. Both are useful
analyses but you won't get the same type of information.
IBM developerWorks has a good article covering both approaches, see

well, I think it is not so useful to know the hit by jpeg files, js,
css etc. people are mainly concerned about the PV.
also, JS approach can also trace the keywords from search engine (e.g.
Google Analytics)
anyway, your article from IBM is a good one, thanks.
