Poll: What web stats service do you use?

I'm curious to see what the webmasters here use...

TrackWala a stats/tracking system I created for conversion tracking.
I've used WebTrends and AWstats, but found they both were not up to par on what I needed for our clients.

I recently found a great stats tool - identifies queries, tracks robots, paths - the JS can be pulled in from the same file using shtml - fantastic (and only 17 dollars.)

ALLCOUNT from Perlscriptsjavascripts dot com

While graphically/analyticlly its not as good as say IndexTools all the info is there!

NetTracker- Tons of info easily organized to your specifications. Kinda spendy but only a one time fee.

I used to use WebTrends Live, but ended up switching to iWebTrack just a couple of weeks ago because of the speed and the cost. Ultimately it was a great decision and should have been done sooner! WebTrends seemed to be getting slower every time I logged in. I was paying $35 a month for webtrends, iwebtrack is $10. I also do a lot on ebay and iwebtrack can track visitors to my ebay auctions too, so that was a bonus.

I did have a question though while we're all on this subject, iwebtrack says they don't use cookies to track visitors because if cookies are blocked then the stats service can't get an accurate count of the unique visitors. I do notice a difference between the iwebtrack reports and webtrends, there tend to be fewer "uniques" on iwebtrack but the page views are about the same. If what the iwebtrack site says is true, then webtrends was never showing me how many "real" unique visitors I had because if the person was blocking cookies they would be counted as a unique visitor on every page they visited? Or would they even be counted at all?

[iwebtrack.com...] is the site I'm talking about. I have to admit I'm pretty impressed, my trial isn't over yet but when it is I'll be more than happy to pay them $10 a month and kiss webtrends goodbye forever because this is way better. one thing I really like is that I can tell the difference between my pay per click search engine keywords, and regular search engine searches, which was something I couldn't see with webtrends.

I'm a minimalist.
Analog for 4 years - works fine - tells me all I need - FREE.
I don't want to fret over every known statistic.
I have plenty else to do.

I'm using AWStats (http://awstats.sourceforge.net/) and GetchooStats (http://www.getchoo.com/). Works fine in conjunction and I get all the information I need.

I just scanned all the posts, and it seems most people are using free or very inexpensive tracking methods. Are most people here running business sites, or running fun & info based sites?

After messing with several, hitbox enterprise has solved all my problems for business sites, and am quite happy with it, although, for my fun stuff, urchin, webalizer, and modlogin.

I use web analytics by load.com

I have been using them for about 6 months now and have been very happy with them. They also provide me with Managed DNS.

My home-grown one (written c++). Little slow, but perfectly customized :)

Like Bull and many others, I have written my own. The advantages of customizability made the effort worth while. After the raw logs are processed once on import, I can filter every which way and I can update the HTTP_referer analyzer on the fly.
