Can anyone suggest me your favorite visitor tracking tool? and if its free or
not?

thanks!

[DougNY]

I use statcounter dot com

It's free in a limited version.

I look forward to other responses as I've been looking for an alternative.

I swear by Google Analytics - as long as you don't mind sharing your metrics with the big "G"...

[HardwareGeek]

I shoot them with darts that have GPS embeded in them.

I have moved all my analytics to Clicky, who have an API - used in conjunction with the CJ reporting API it makes a terrific conversion analysis tool for affiliates.

I adore statcounter.. it's free, but I choose to pay for the 10k log file so I can monitor all my sites.

Don't love Google as it has delayed reporting. Have also installed php-based app on my own sites: http://www.phpmyvisites.us/

Still comes back to statcounter for me...

[PatrickAllmond]

piwik is a great one also. Live stats. I thought that is what phpmyvisites turned into.

I am another fan of Statcounter. Give it a whirl for FREE. If you like it, you can always upgrade later. Installation is a breeze.

I use microchips implanted in their right hands or foreheads. I started doing it with pets first, then I convinced people to do it by saying it's only for their protection and I'd be able to help them should they get lost or if there is a terrorist attack....that and Statcounter.

Yes--it's open source and awesome (piwik.org). Track campaigns, clicks in/out of site, keywords...all the usual plus track OpenX stats, drag and drop widget interface, open APIs...yes, it's in beta, has it's glitches, but your info is all yours--all gloriously yours.

Clicky here

statcounter. com is what I use. Just a note I suggest when using any counter that you place their code at the bottom of your page just before the </body> and outside of any tables you may be using on the page.

superCool wrote his own PHP tracking script for non-affiliate sites. he keeps the following raw data and then analyzes it programmatically - date/time, ip, page url, referring page url, browser, javascript Y/N

superCool does not currently track outgoing links but that would be important for affiliate sites. what other info do you track?

will check out statcounter

superCool appreciates ya

[Snib]

My own custom PHP for tracking outgoing clicks to merchants. Google Analytics, Awstats and Urchin for general tracking, and Facebook Insights on my Facebook apps.

I actually like extreme tracking the best, as its very easy and neat,
the problem is that its not invisible, I don't mind paying a few bucks, but I have several websites, and I don't want to have a different counter for each website... anyone knows if its possible to have several counters for one subscription with them?

If not, anyone knows a service that kinda works like extreme?

I especially like the way they show the last visitors and their referring sources and countries, for example :

http://extremetracking [.] com/open;unique?login=alexucho
