Traffic Tracking

Anybody that creates a webpage and publishes, wants to know if someone is viewing it, what they are doing on it, and if a search engine is indexing it. I wanted to start doing exactly that. Go Daddy provides some stats about how many hits, from where, what browser, and a few other bits of information. Not enough to satisfy me, especially when I want more in-depth insight regarding my visitors. Another major reason I wanted to do this is because the stats that I get form Go Daddy, include the hits that are being generated by my editing/viewing of the pages. This can add upto 100s a day, skewing my stats and perseption of how good the site is doing.

For this, I turn to who other than Google - or Google Analytics to be more precise. They have a whole slew of different metrics that are measured for a given site. Extremely easy to setup - for a regular website... and just a bit more work is needed to get it working with Drupal.
