I'm looking into some options for a good Site Analytics service for my companies site.
I just spoke with GoDaddy and they offer this service, but they said it would be $80.00 for 2 years.
What Site Analytics software, sites or programs would you recommend?

If you're looking for real-time (as opposed to Google's three-hour delay), you have a couple of options:
Reinvigorate:
http://www.reinvigorate.net/Clicky:
http://www.getclicky.com/Frankly, Clicky is the better one of the two.
- when did reinvigorate reboot? they are pre-google's as far as I can rememberuan
- Man, good question; I've been using them for 5 years, I think, so it was pre-Google, post-Urchin.Continuity

Is there any that can be integrated directly into your own site? With cool graphics and stuff.
- hubb7designs0
what do you mean by integrated? As in showing your site's users/viewers the analytics information?

Google?
- + reinvigorate are the only ones I've used.Ruffian
- I find Reinvigorate doesn't always capture visitors, when compare against my raw server logs. :(Continuity

Integrated as in I design an Analytics page on my site and render the data however I want it with Flash or JS.
Maybe this is a dumb question, I haven't really looked into it before.
- Not a dumb idea. Can be useful for a custom client area dashboard etc.ETM
- That only you can access via login credentials, presumably.Continuity
- real time stats and dashboard overlaying the website, rendered in flash or js, password protected.Ilike.uan

^ukit... I gotcha now.
I like the Twitter Analytics portion of Clicky.

Clicky really is quite robust, and their pricing scheme isn't all that bad.
- ukit0
What about this?
- hubb7designs0
^Does it monitor Twitter as well?
This one looks a little more expensive than some of the others

low or high-volume site?
If low volume, you can write some PHP/mySQL to do it all with sniffing ENV variables....

Currently Low... but looking to blow this site up... so I'd like to be prepared for the future.

google analytics is excellent, have you at least looked into that yet?

So I have set up Google Analytics for my site.
And I'm sure that Google Analytics does this, but I'm not seeing it.
I'm trying to see specific information for my users on my site:
IP Address, Domain etc. Basically information that will tell me (or give me hints) to who is on my site.Is there a way to see this?
- I love how this post came right after the previous one :DLillebo
- Check the Dates son!hubb7designs
- Still, Google Analytics was pretty obvious as the right choice from the start...Lillebo

Just click Visitors on the left hand side of the screen....should be really obvious.

Another round of hand-holding eh?
- hubb7designs0
Yes Please d_rek..... funny guy

@ukit...
I have obviously looked through the visitors area of Analytics, but I can seem to find anywhere that will show me the users IP address or domain.
- ukit0
I don't think Google lists IP address...maybe out of privacy concerns. Although ironically they would have access to that info themselves. However they give you pretty much every other piece of info imaginable on your visitors...location, hostname, service provider, etc.
If you need IP you would have to use your own stats program to collect that. The other one, users domain, what does that mean?
- hubb7designs0
Domain meaning the site or email domain of the user.
Hostname is maybe what I was looking for. Where do I find out the hostname?
- Visitors > Network Properties > Service Providers, on the left navContinuity
