Anyone know a good stats package?

Hi

I'm on the hunt for a good web based stats/logfile analysing package for my client.

We have just launched a database e-commerce site selling a car product. Although we have only just got started I would like to think that we would be getting over 50,000 visitors/month in the next few months.

Does anyone know a good stats package that could be accessed using say
http://www.theurl.co.uk/logfiles and then you are prompted to enter a username and password?

Any ideas greatfully received.

Thanks

Laura

You are very optimisitic for a "new" site. :)

50,000? Are you sure? Is that real visitors or impressions?

Try Google's stats. They are free and in depth.

Hi Doug

Thanks for the advice.

Perhaps I am being a little optimistic but my target keyphrase was searched 466,227 time in June - so I just hope to be on google's front page soon!

I'm already number 3 in MSN for my second target keyphrase (searched over 40,000 times during June).

Fingers crossed I'm close by Christmas!

Sorry, forgot to mention that's visits I'm aiming for.

Google has an age factor on a lot of keywords llaura, if the keywords you are after are affected by it there maybe no chance of top ranking for 2 years or so.

I use goole analytics and awstats and cnstats I find between the three I get enough information. Googla and awstats are free.

Laura,

I love your attitude! 50k visitors a month is not a huge monster goal that you can't make, so I hope that you do make that.

I like google stats, but I also like onestat, is isn't free but it has great depth.

I use this program (http://www.perlonline.com/) and AwStats which my host provides.

Personally I do not like Google's stats.

If you have access to your raw log files, software that will read those is probably the best. I have tried several over the years and I'm in the process of evaluating some more.

Good luck with your endeavor.
