Re: Google Analytics

When I was at Tizra, we used Google Analytics for our own sites, 
and for our client sites.  I'll repeat others' comments - it's 
fairly straightforward to setup, powerful, and free.  The data 
regarding entry and exit are particularly useful, as is the 
amount of time spent on each page.
