How can I find out what people are searching on to get to my site?

I heard that there are access log parsers that can do this, but I have yet to find one. Can someone help me out here?

AWStats - [awstats.sourceforge.net...]

So far I've had good luck with this one.
Good little program. Free too.

Budbiss, you'll also have to be sure your server is set to record referrer info in the logs. Sometimes, the default settings don't capture referrer details to minimize log space. If you are on a commercial web host, ask them - they may have some kind of log analysis software that they can install for you at no cost.

Hi, I'm not sure if this is what you mean but I use
www.extremetracking.com and also
[www3.addfreestats.com...] Both of these are free and tell me what keywords & search engine were used. Addfree also shows the number of pages visited, how long they stayed, ect. If the addresses are not allowed, sorry, please snip them. Addfree also has a box that can be installed to tell you how many visitors are on your site at the same time. Pretty neat.
