One of the most commonly asked questions in this forum is "what stats package do you recommend?". Webmasterworld is NOT the place for people to generally make specific recommendations. However, there comes a point where the question gets asked so many time that it needs a stock answer. Where has this question been asked (and more or less answered) before? [webmasterworld.com...]
[webmasterworld.com...]
[webmasterworld.com...]
[webmasterworld.com...] [Conversion Tracking]
[webmasterworld.com...] So, you can see that this question is well and truly in the spotlight. My thinking is that if you have/use a package or two, perhaps you can (in a very unbiased way) add to this list, Always using the following: Package name?:

Package name?: Urchin Stats
Target user Personal/small biz/med biz/big biz)?: Should work for any size. Have to customize settings though for larger sites.
Price range for target user?: Free in my case. Actual cost unknown.
Logfile based or Tagging based?: Logging is standard. Believe option available for tagging.
Sits on server / third party server / local your PC?: Sits on server. May be configured to be on a stats server if desired.
Reporting formats? (HTML, Email, CSV, WORD...): HTML, CSV
Tracks daily unique visitors as well as page views?: Yes
Gives geographic data?: Yes
Graphical or text based reporting?: Both
Tracks Spiders?: Yes
Tracks conversion data for PPC campaigns?: Optional. Has to be set up seperately but can be done. I haven't used this option.
Tracks conversion data for natural search? Yes. Also optional.
Unusual Extras? : Free with many web hosting accounts. Nice interface. Very detailed if settings are configured properly. My Conclusion - Urchin, now owned by Google I believe, is an awesome stats package. It can be a bit slow at times due to heavy graphical interface. It is excellent at reporting page views, geographical data and ALL organic search terms from all SE's. Very easy to use. Trick to Urchin is configuring it properly. The "default" comes a bit stripped down which will work fine for small sites without much traffic but will frustrate larger sites. This frustration can be removed by changing the settings to allow for larger table size so Urchin can hold more data. "Physics" adds: There are two types of urchin (at least): the one that's free with most web hosts and the $200/month javascript tag one that has advanced features and roi tracking and stuff (I think ... haven't used it but sat through some presentations . Anway I wanted to post that in the thread but don't want to start a discussion.) [edited by: Receptional at 7:13 am (utc) on Sep. 5, 2005]

Package name?: Livestats/Deepmetrix
Target user Personal/small biz/med biz/big biz)?: All
Price range for target user?: Free with many hosting accounts. Unsure of actual cost but think it is relatively expensive.
Logfile based or Tagging based?: Logfile standard. Believe tagging is optional.
Sits on server / third party server / local your PC?: Sits on server. Also setup on a seperate stats server.
Reporting formats? (HTML, Email, CSV, WORD...): HTML, CSV
Tracks daily unique visitors as well as page views?: Yes
Gives geographic data?: Yes
Graphical or text based reporting?: Both, with heavy use of graphics.
racks Spiders?: Recognizes spiders, but does not track them.
Tracks conversion data for PPC campaigns?: Unsure
Tracks conversion data for natural search? : Unsure
Unusual Extras?: Real time stats reporting. Very nice graphics. My Conclusion : A very nice concept that is missing one absolutely key component - Deep Metrixs (or at least the version I used last year) does NOT track organic search phrases. It keeps tab on keywords used. But it splits search phrases up into keywords - and does not report phrases used. Thus, a search in Google that leads to your site for "some term" will not be shown as a keyword phrase. Instead, it shows up in the keyword reports as "some" and "term". This makes tracking your targeted keyword phrases nearly impossible. [edited by: Receptional at 7:15 am (utc) on Sep. 5, 2005]

Package name?: ClickTracks
Target user Personal/small biz/med biz/big biz)?: Packages for different sizes: Analyzer, Optimizer, Professional ... hosted/log file solutions for all
Price range for target user?: $49 - $179 + per month hosted, $500 - $3,000 software, $11,000 for premium big business package
Logfile based or Tagging based?: Logfiles or javascript
Sits on server / third party server / local your PC?: All choices available.
Reporting formats? (HTML, Email, CSV, WORD...): PDF, EXCEL, view in applicaton ... multi-page export to pdf is a nice feature for Optimizer and up
Tracks daily unique visitors as well as page views?: Yes - Very advanced tracking. Can tag user groups based on entry page or query string. Can view stats 'on page' on your site, i.e. shows a graphical overlay of any page with what percentage of visitors clicked which link ... this is the best feature really (if you set a conversion goal tag you can look at how many people that actually converted clicked say a link on your home page as opposed to people who didn't convert). Also tracks time on site for different visitors.
Gives geographic data?: Yes (Optimizer and up)
Graphical or text based reporting?: Both?
Tracks Spiders?: Yes - Full spider reports
Tracks conversion data for PPC campaigns?: Professional can. Others can do 'cost analysis'.
Tracks conversion data for natural search?: Professional can. Others can do 'cost analysis'.
Unusual Extras? : Analyze a group of interconnected web sites (pro), Analyze sites running on multiple/load-balanced servers (hosted and pro) Did I mention that 'overlay' view of your site rocks?
Features I wish it had: Support for non-standard log file formats. This isn't that hard to implement really. Just allow the user to say what fields are in what order and what the delimiter / text qualifier is. You can compare the different packages in a table view on their web site. It's pretty nice that one can get in on this advanced software for $50/month with the Analyzer hosted.

Well - that went better than expected! Firstly, thanks to everyone who posted, for being objective and for sticking to the point. I hope this thread proves to be a useful resource for years to come, and is destined for the Tracking and Logging document library [webmasterworld.com] Because this thread borders on soliciting for business, I am taking the unusual step of locking the thread now. If anyone wants to add a significant package, or request that something here is updated, please sticky me. In doing so, please cut and paste the format above, so I don't have to spend ages changing your sticky. I would like to limit this to stats packages that have at least come off Beta and have some market penetration please. THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE. Dixon.
