Can anyone recommend good website statistics/web analytics software?<br /><br />I've heard Google Analytics is very good, but it doesn't seem to effectively record details of downloaded files (which is a major requirement for us).<br /><br />I work for a charity so we're looking for a free (or relatively cheap) piece of software.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Stewart<br /><br />PS This is my first post, so hello everyone! <img src="http://www.webdesignerforum.co.uk/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Look at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.Statcounter.com">www.Statcounter.com</a><!-- w -->. Records visitors, popular pages etc, but probably not downloads.<!--content-->
Hi<br /><br />Yes Google Analytics is very good in my opinion and free at up to 5,000,000 hits per month.<br />But it works with cookies and so is a different way of collecting the stats and this should be taken into account.<br />They also ask you to state this fact in your Privacy Policy statement.<br /><br />It records all the pages that the JavaScript code that Google supply you with can be placed in.<br />But remember that visitors may have cookies or JavaScript turned off.<br /><!--content-->

None of the solutions above feature file download statistics. To do that you just need to install some simple PHP. You could probably find something target="_blank">http://www.hotscripts.com.<!--content-->
My favourite stats program ever has to be Mint although Reinvigorate is also good.<!--content-->
