#22http://chartbeat.com is super duper awesome
The Page Load Time numbers for your end users are really useful.
I think it's an oft-neglected metric that is a real difference for your users. You can assess in real time whether a reduced image size, or some different HTML has actually made a perceivable difference in speed to your users.
The translation of this speed into revenue is also something else.
Fuzzy made-up numbers: Above 5 seconds, people leave. Above 2 seconds, people tolerate. Get the page load below 2 seconds, people stick. Get the page load below 1 second and the site starts to become invisible to them and they become highly productive.

I like lloogg. My biggest complaint is that if you refresh the console, you lose the aggregate statistics, which is annoying. I haven't used it in a few months though, so maybe that's been fixed.

#24Mint has not let me down: http://haveamint.com It's a self-hosted solution, and you can see how people are coming in via referrals, SERPs, etc. in real-time.
I second that too. It's a nice application and cheap.

#25I used to use http://www.w3counter.com/ and never had any problems with it. I honestly don't know how it compares to the rest mentioned here, though, as I have never used them.

#26I paid $60 for Clicky for 12 months ($5/month). This is the best service out there, I switched from Google Analytics to Clicky and I've been so happy and its 60 bucks well spent!

#27Are there any generic event tracking services?
I'd like to be able to log generic events (either serverside or clientside) and then aggregate and display the information in a useful format.
Most of these sites seem to be based on browser sessions.

One comment on your page: you don't need a spare server for mint. It's just javascript, and resides on your site. It's no sweat at all to install.

The installation points out that you need Apache and MySQL server. I wouldn't want to run this on my production server, so if I was to use Mint I would prefer another server.
