10e20.com — You don't have to pay a lot (or anything) to get good info about your website or blog's traffic and visitors. This article compares 6 free traffic analytics packages and why you should (or shouldn't) use them. I have used 4 of these and still like Google Analytics the best out of the free ones.

Does anyone recommend other server-side analytics / statistic tools?

They forgot Re_invigorate: <a class="user" href="http://www.reinvigorate.net/">http://www.reinvigorate.net/</a>It's back finally, but in Beta form. Still a great solution

First off $30 bucks isn't 'measly'... and secondly I have mint and I got to say it's more pretty than anything else. I still prefer my Analytics Awstats combo!

I count my clicks with Google Analytics (and used Urchin and Webalizer previously) and still run Webalizer in the background for uh s**ts and giggles. It does report significantly more traffic than Google tells us, and yes I believe this is due to robots. I trust google has better filters!!I track my dollars with <a class="user" href="http://www.unifiedstats.com">http://www.unifiedstats.com</a> which is a great free tool that does mostly adult programs, but also some mainstream programs as well.

bbclone (bbclone.de) isn't a bad php counter (of sorts). It tracks user sessions very well.

There's a video here showing the UI and features.<a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfyEfP9E7d0">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfyEfP9E7d0</a>Via Ian Kennedy.<a class="user" href="http://cavitate.net/flashpoint/2007/02/reinvigoratenet_shiny_new_stats_app.html">http://cavitate.net/flashpoint/2007/02/reinvigoratenet_shiny_new_stats_app.html</a>Anyone who remembers V1 of reinvigorate (2003-04?) might recall the java applet-based live reporting tool (every live hit would play a sound if you wanted, show IP and referrer) - was really cool when you were being Slashdotted or something (I'd say "being Dugg", but it didn't exist then!) - I was a big fan.The current service shows "live" (recent) visitors alongside totals for the day, among other stats (referrals and so on.)

@scottschillerYes, I totally remember v1 and the realtime ping. Very cool feature indeed.
