   Avoid relying totaly on JS powered analytics. I find they only count about 50% - 60% of traffic.

   I must disagree on comment posted by “Mutiny Design”. JavaScript powered Google Analytics is very precise and it returns me the same number of pageviews just like asense reports. When I removed adsense from some of my pages then number of pageviews on G Analytics is greater than pageviews in adsense.

   So I wouldn’t say that JS powered analytics tools are bad… Just programmers need to code them perfectly. In addition, JS analytics doesn’t count robots and such pieces of sh*t.

   The thing with google analytics is that it isn’t realtime, although it displays great stats and most of all is FREE. But despite this i’ll carry on using. For a good stand alone analyser, i’d recommend Clicktracks

   I personally use sitemeter and Google Analytics.. In fact I host urchin.js locally and update with a cron job.
