What do you do for analytics?
bd: There is no single analytics solution that would be fully satisfactory. The ones based on web bugs (e.g. Google Analytics) slow down your site and usually have clunky, slow and/or limited interfaces. Additionally, better ones are getting expensive for more serious use (also, I prefer one time fee over subscriptions).Local analyzers of server logs do not filter out well robots and also logistics of transferring and updating logs is a pain.I use Google Analytics, though not everywhere. Almost always I supplement it with some sort of local log processing. Over the time I tried several log analyzing tools, but I kept using only Visitors [1] and WebLogExpert [2]. I remember Web Log Storming [3] was also good: very fast and it allowed to track individual visitors.Though often I just end up doing some custom logs processing, either by some Python script, or (more common) by some combination of Unix command line tools, directly ssh-ed into the server.For example, to get real-time referrers:  cat access.log | grep "GET / HTTP" | grep -v '"-"'

If there is a lot of traffic, just use "tail -n XXX" instead of "cat".[1] http://www.hping.org/visitors[2] http://www.weblogexpert.com[3] http://www.datalandsoftware.com/weblog/
