Answer 2

I typically do a search every 30 or so days for new projects for better stats. I currently (still) use AWStats (and JAWStats as I mentioned in another thread).

One of the best things about AWStats when compared to it counterparts is ability to break up your datafiles to create reports by day, week, month, year or even hour using the databasebreak feature.

Why people are still using Webalizer and Analog (well, speed aside) is beyond me. At least in my experience they tend to bury as much information as they expose and I end up reading raw logs.

Answer 3

If you are looking for stats that are meant to be given to a customer and provide them with realistic data (not number of hits based on every file), then check out Google Analytics. Free and looks pretty.

Answer 4

I'd go for awstats. I was getting my site usage reports from awstats for a while and then turned on Google Analytics to do this job as well. And, surprisingly, Google turned out to be rather unreliable. I get usually have no visits from a country like Finland and once I knew for sure a friend of mine visited the site from Finland and what happend? Awstats says - hey, you had a visit from Finland! And Google Analytics? I move my mouse over Finland and the bubble says "visits: 0". After that I could never quite make myself trust it again.
