    Hi. Tough question. I've never been able to determine the veracity of stats returned by programs such as Awstats or Google Analytics. Many people consider GA the Standard in tracking.

    A free, open source program that returns results similar to GA but which you can install yourself and run from your own hosting is Piwik Analytics at Piwik - Web analytics - Open source. I'm sorry, I can't answer the question of "best;" however, I would suggest comparing the results from various tracking metrics.

    I use a program called "Serpy" and also a plugin for Firefox called SEO For Firefox. Very cool both of them and free.

    Yes, google analytic is the best. It is a free service offered by google that generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website. Try it.

  • In my opinion Google Analytics prints tons of info, but most of it is useless and complicated to read.

    After having tried plenty of different scripts, I simply had to hire a coder to create a simple tracking script that did just what I wanted.
