If you run a website, you absolutely MUST be tracking your website traffic and usage. What’s more, with free and full-featured web analytics tools such as Google Analytics available, there’s no excuse not to track your website visitors.

On the other hand, Google Analytics is NOT the only game in town when it comes to collecting and displaying your website usage statistics. There are other web analytics tools – some free, some paid – that do a better job of tracking all kinds of things that Google Analytics doesn’t track.
Now, there are certainly some elaborate tools out there – Coremetrics, Omniture and Webtrends come to mind – but for small and mid-sized Internet businesses, here are eight (8) free or reasonably priced web analytics tools to consider.

Also, keep in mind, that you may benefit from implementing more than one of these tools, since some complement rather than replace each other.

1. Clicky
2. Clicktale
3. Chartbeat
4. Google
5. Piwik
6. SiteMeter
7. StatCounter
8. Woopra
