Site tracker - What do you use

[kansasskydiver 0]

What service do you use to track visitors to your site and how good, accurate is it? The tracker I'm using just isn't keeping up with the site anymore and I need more detailed information.

Been using http://extremetracking.com/ for over 3 years now to track skydivingmovies.com. Can't comment on accuracy... impossible to know without comparing the stats to log files. And if I always had access to log files, I wouldn't need a tracker.

My stats are at http://extremetracking.com/open;sum?login=skyftp if you want a sample.

You need root access on the server to install this, but if you can its a great product.

You also need access to the logs for this, but its an excellent tool.

Gives you counts on visitors/hits/urls/filesize/etc, referrers, client domains, per day / hour stats, response codes, etc.

And, pretty graphs

I currently use extreme tracker and I need something that will give me more than just the last 20 unique visitors. I'd like to be able to track the number of times an ip address has logged in in one day etc. I have no problems with extreme, just woudl like to upgrade.

As for the others, I'm not sure if I have access to the roote file or not of the school's website. I'll have to check what exactly it needs.

You do php right? Make your own. Don't need log files or anything. You could have an include on every page that just writes the users ip address to a database (or even a text file if you really wanted to) and do all the calculations/stats you need.
