Powerful stats package for Hosting Provider?

Pro or Enterprise versions to run on Linux

[skiguide]

Hi All,

I've been asked to make recommendations on what would be a good stats package for SEO/marketing purposes - tracking dynamic, deep paths, search term to sale, etc - all that good stuff. Or at least something that we could tack add-ons to do this stuff with.

Of course WebTrends is on the list, and I assume it can run on Linux, LiveStats is Microsoft based, so that's out.

Urchin is looking good - and maybe net tracker?

Anyone know of anything else like these?
Not necessarily the highest priced package, but not particularly low either.

The good stuff to track "terms in->buy out" is pricey. "path" stuff is always difficult on larger scale. I doubt it will do what you want, but take a look at Fast Stats.

One catalog client we have uses NetTracker. The detail is impressive but from the little we've played with it, looking at things in aggregate is not as easy as it is with WebTrends.

I am a big nettracker fan, very flexible. I hated webtrends, but that is just me, I felt like it was very slow, and when you are doing analysis for 30 sites, speed is a big factor.

[skiguide]

right now - i'm kind of ignoring the total price factor - just looking to see what is possible -

But i would say $25K is probably towards the top end.

And the product should be real-time, and with large, fast servers, i don't think slowness would be an issue.

I am a Nettracker advocate too. webtrends, fasstats etc. never did it for me. Urchin was reasonable but the interface is far less intuitive.Definig Critical path to Purchase and 'Buy" keywords is not the easiest task in the world with Nettracker but the reporting level of detail is impressive and incredibly useful for SEO purposes and It runs on almost any OS you could want.

...Forgot to add:

The enterprise version of Nettracker may well do what you want but there used to be an ISP version that was incredibly cheap something like $5 per site per month! but you have to be an ISP and I got out of that game years ago.

I too would put my vote in for NetTracker. Pretty slick program. And, as a hosting provider, you will be able to control the stats that are produced on the server side. So you will be able to get the maximum value from all the reports it puts out.

I know you already have it on your list, but I'm a big fan of urchin. Good reports, works great on huge files and is a reasonable one time fee with no monthly costs. We tried both LiveStats and Webtrends and were not impressed...
