What does everyone use to monitor real-time stats on their websites? I use axs-script, but it's pretty simple and basic...

home grown ASP.NET scripts monitor session variables and record them to a SQL backend where they can be mined! *evil laugh*

My web-hosting provider offers a great Stats with many powerfull features (Although I did not use these stats yet for enhancing my site/sales)

But for sure I am on my way to :)

Right now we use Webalizer, which is a pile of garbage for my needs. The biggest problem is that while it will give me fairly detailed stats for a particular day, it doesnt tell me a whole lot about how people got there in each particular case. These recent stats show some decent enough stats for an individual day:

Hits: 19573
Files: 17521
Pages: 2940
Visits: 1527
Sites: 1709
KBytes: 714396

But if i go to a list of referrers it will only show me the top 30. So i can see that a place like bluenews links us but if a smaller site like gametunnel links us it's impossible to tell because it's not going to show it. Especially if it happens near the end of the month, it's 30 visitors won't show up because by that point other sites will have sent much more than that. The big problem is that most the stats aren't broken down on a per day basis.

The other problem is that Webalizer doesnt like to tell me what page they entered through, or even the exact url of the referrer(just the domain name, then I have to search their site to find us).

So to say the least I have a guy writing a pretty spiffy stats program as I type this :)
