I use WUsage (www.wusage.com). It produces many
detailed types of reports---you can see one of my
site's reports at
http://www.animewallpapers.com/wusage/. One
disadvantage with WebTrends is that if I am not
mistaken, it will only run on a Windows machine. Thus,
if your website is on UNIX, you have to download the
logfiles to a Windows machine and analyze them there.
For me this would be very impractical because my
logfiles are hundreds of megabytes large and I'm on
dialup. Other than that point, I've heard WebTrends is
the best website log analyzer out there, but wusage
might work for you too. It's only $75 for a copy, and
it has a 30 day free trial.
