I am looking for a stats program which can do this,
1) Tell me all the search terms used to find the site and also which search engines were used by the user for that particular search term.
Example: Search term - uk jobs - 23 google, 26 yahoo, 12 msn , etc.
2) Tell me the exact page that was entered by the user for each search term.
Example: Search term - uk jobs - www.example.com 23, www.example.com/ukjobs 12, www.example.com/newjobs 3 , etc.
3) Tell me the exact page that the user entered my site from link partners.
Example: Referer - linkpartner.example.com - www.example.com 340, www.example.com/articles 46, www.example.com/?aspid=287384378 23, etc.
4) Shows me where each robot entered the website and the exact route around the site the robot used before leaving.
Example: Googlebot - entry www.example.com , passage www.example.com/jobs, www.example.com/careeradvice, www.example.com/jobsearch.asp, exit www.example.com/jobsearch.asp
5) Shows me the entry url by each robot.
Example: Googlebot - entry referer - somepartnersite.example.com/links.htm
6) If a robot comes with seperate versions for geolocation, i want to see this in the stats.
Example: Googlebot( uk ) , Googlebot ( usa ), Googlebot ( french ), MSNBot ( uk ), WISENutbot ( USA ), Inktomi Slurp ( German )
7) I need to be able to export all the different information produced in excel, not just the overview of information but everything i might wish to export.
Must be a stats program compatable with a windows server.
I do not want a stats program which required a ankor link on each page of the site to show the stats - this would pass the pagerank away from our site.
The website has millions of page impressions each month and about half a million uniques - so must be able to deal with large volume.
Any recommendations?
Perhaps a custom script could be made from the raw logs if no stats program does this?
A stats program should do this, i am sure there is one somewhere.

Are you sure? It seems that when the bots come on my forums, they hang around for sometime and i can tell from the of the threads whos viewing that they seem to be going from link to link in real time.
Where did you read that bots behave like that or is it common knowledge?
Looking through your list, seems like WebTrends Enterprise could produce all of these. Most of them would be custom reports and custom profiles, but don't let that worry you --- WebTrends is moving in the direction of custom reports being the norm (hope that makes sense).
I'm sure several other solutions can handle it as well. WebTrends is just the one we use, so I'm familiar with it.
Remember that "it's better than nothing" is a fundamental underpinning for the concept called Progress. :D

You can deduce path of the crawler on your site, but as it was correctly pointed out crawler don't tell you how they found your page. This would not be of value anyway since there can be (and often are) more than one page pointing to you.
yes i agree of course, my answer was in the context of the original questioner having quite a demanding list and i was letting him know that even the best case scenario will not come up to his specs!
Simple (Like me ;-)
