Web Traffic Monitoring tools

Hi All

I have recently (2 months ago) launched a new brass discussion www site called theMouthPiece.com [link in sig below] in which I have drastically underestimated the amount of interest it would create.

I intend to build upon this initial response and would like to implement a web traffic monitoring tool to see where visitors are coming from, how often, how many unique visitors etc. My web host does provide some stats... well quite a lot of stats actually but when I see stats from other sites I see no resemblance to the figures I obtain !!

So, can anyone suggest a suitable web traffic monitoring app that I could take a look at please.

Thanks
John

 

John, check this out and see if it will work for you. I used the free version and it worked great with the raw access logs. I think you can use it without raw access logs also.

I have seen some other traffic monitoring tools at different websites, but I can' t remember where now. Try some web development sites such as

http://www.websiteowner.info ( I think that's the url)

There's more if you dig around and do a google search too.
