website visitor tracking - free ones?

[unwashed potato!]

i'm looking for something to track the visitors behaviour on my website. ideally i'd love to be able to see how they got there, where they go, how long they spend on each page.

is there anything i can quickly put up that i can use or will i have to ake something myself?

Not sure this tells you how they got to your site or where they go, but it will show you what they're doing on your site and how long they spend on each page.

Google Analytics can tell you how people got to your site, but again I don't think it tells you where they go afterwards.

Google Anlaytics can You need to manually add the following code to outbound links though:

[FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]<a href="http://www.example.com" [B]onClick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/example.com');[/B]">[/FONT]

Would personally go with Google Analtyics, it's free, can most likely do everything you'll need and takes little setup. That clicktale software has limits on the number of recorded page views - even for the paid version - as far I know Google Analytics has no such limitations.

AWStats; assuming you have access to the server that hosts your site. Great bit of software

Most defo use this - gives you most of what you are after including pretty bar graphs (ideal for managers )
