Hi all,

What is a good free alternative to Google Analytics that I can recommend to my subscribers?

It has to have something similar to the Goals & Goal Funnels plus the ability to integrate tracking URLS (similar to URL builder).

Cheers,
Michelle

Well, for tracking URLs, I recommend bit.ly. I use this, and it's great.

If you're using Wordpress, use the Jetpack plugin, which allows you to utilize the Site Stats found on Wordpress.com sites on your self-hosted Wordpress.org site. The best thing about Site Stats on the Jetpack plugin is that the daily views graph is updated in real-time, so you can check it at any point in the day and see the total number of views for your site instead of using the Real Time Google Analytics Beta option which only allows you to view the site views for the past 25 minutes (unless you can view a cumulative day view count, which I would LOVE to hear about).

If you like the look of GA, then Open Web Analytics is an open source version that looks very similar.
