Most stats like webalizer etc that comes with a lot of hosting is pretty good, then again depends on what exactly you want stats about.

You are right, due to extremely strong demand, they are not taking any new sites. This is the message displayed when you click on sign up

Quote: Google Analytics has experienced extremely strong demand, and as a result, we have temporarily limited the number of new signups as we increase capacity. In the meantime, please submit your name and email address and we will notify you as soon as we are ready to add new accounts. Thank you for your patience.

I find that Awstats is pretty good, but also use analytics (from google).

The major downside of analytics is that it is based on a javascript system being put into your site and hence doesn't pick up people just viewing images or videos (quite important to me...)

I use cnstats (cnstats.com/en/, of i'm not mistaken ). It costs 60$ and is very informative.

I find Analytics good, especially as it is free. You are limited to 5 site profiles but hopefully you will be able to add more, for a cost i'm sure, later on.

You have to put a JavaScript snippet on every page you want to track.

My biggest annoyance is not being able to customise stats, like the graphs. I'm not entirely sure what they represent time wise.

If you can spend the money use: deepmetrix.com They're about the best. If you're looking for free do a search for "extreme tracking". They're good.

Has anyone heard of Funnelweb? It was a great little Web site logfile analyzer. Eventually, a big company bought it and gave it away for free. About a year ago I wanted to go grab the free copy, but found that they had taken down their links and the whole thing was just dead.

However, I found my old copy, along with PDF manuals and everything. It's not open source, but it is 100% free. If anyone can endure an 18 MB download, it's on my site here:
