I use awstats that is provided by my host, and also use Statcounter as a third party application. The reason being i can set a cookie to ignore my own page views that would otherwise distort my traffic considering the low number of pageviews i get.
Yup i use Statcounter too. Very good and free
http://www.statcounter.comaddfreestats.com is not bad.
I have used addfreestats.com with good results:D

Guess you can add me also…I like statcounter. It is free and the counter itself can be invisible.
I used to use addfreestats.com and it’s a great program, but I have switched over all of my websites to http://www.statcounter.com this program has so much more detail and seems to track slightly better.
Every stats program gives you a different view of your visitors and each helps you make decisions on your marketing campaigns or site improvements. That said, I use:
AWStats which is provided for free from my web host, low quality, but you can find a few nuggets of information that are good.
Statcounter which is the one I look at the most for the most recent visitor reports…it’s great knowing where people come from and if they make it past your homepage (one way to tell it’s a real person if you are testing out a PPC campaign)
Google Stats which has an incredible level of information and is free (it’s the old Urchin, which was always considered one of the best), the only thing that is missing is the ease of finding your daily traffic reports…at least in the way that Statcounter lays it out for you…but, Google Stats is great for getting aggregate information and for setting up code to track key actions on your site (i haven’t played around with that yet, but it seems very useful even if you can’t run an Adwords campaign).
Does statcounter count exit links, the most important factor of an affiliate site…?

I like awstats. Very dependable, since it’s installed on the server.
The server provider I use provides the following: aswats, webalizer(more accurate), webalizer ftp, subdomain stats, latest 300 visitors, real time bandwidth usage, error log.
Disk space unlimited, bandwidth unlimited, unlimted emails, and the list goes on.
Their operating server is linux, kernal version 2.4.21-37ELsmp, perl version 5.8.7, php version 4.4.1, mysql version 4.0.25 standard, cpanel x v2.5.0, apache version 1.3.34 unix(verygood)
One free domain for keeps, machine type i686(very good)
The server went down once for an hour the mother board got fried was up again in a hour. greek39

Not sure if it is available now since I think it may be a part of their paid service.

I’m using WordPress, so i placed the script in the sidebar template that is included in every page.
