To keep track of your company growth, regardless of its size is an important task, that should be handled by good, effective and proper tools.
Using any analytic tool to track your visitors can be overwhelming at start, but to use that data with proper measures will always be the main task. So, before making any decisions to choose a web analytics tool you need to invest time to study it well.
With me, i had this problem of applying Google analytics on every site, but not reading the data properly and not using it makes it a waste, a piece of dump script on your site, which also slows your site down without any reason.
Probably many of SEO guys will not agree about the speed issue, but I have experienced a drop in speed whenever you apply a analytic script on your site, it can be a fraction of seconds but, it matters a lot.

Best in Terms of:-
Ease of Use, Accuracy and most used….
Tele-Columnist!
great list.. but GA is the best for me
Analytics is probably the most complete tool to analyze your traffic. There are others as well but most of them ask you to add a visible code on your webpage, so I prefer Google Analytics any day.
I really like your post. Specially I like your way to share thought. Thanks for sharing.
Traffic stats are always different in different tools for me. I prefer google analytics and then Jet Pack. But i cant trust any PPC ad click tracker
My choice is Google Analytics. It’s free, reliable and powerful, especially with custom reports. Now extended it with chrome extension to make analysis even easier and faster https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nnjddncjfaimmmbamijonddhflmnhfdg
Google Analytics main web analytic tool for me. And for thousands other analyst, i think…
Well I am pretty satisfied using webheats services. Its really too cheap and you get the core analysis including heatmaps, click reports, realtime moments and pushtraffic etc. you may find them here webheats.com
Quantcast.com and also ChartBeat.net, CrazyEgg were also worth seeing
I only use google analytic… i would try one out your list here… though i could find any comparison table to differentiate the best… but i still go with GA
thanks for sharing!!
That was a great list and a nice article.I only know about google analytics but will also like to try yahoo web analytics too. Just one query – google analytics only show visitor from google search only or also from other search engine refer visitor ??
Awesome blog having valuable content. Nice collection of analytics traffic tracking tools list.
Thank for sharing excellent post.
Thanks for the great list of web Analytics. Generally I use Google Analytics to track my blog and I also use StatCounter for some of my blog. It has so many features that helps me to track my blog visitor in a smart way
This is a good list, with a lot of useful information! But if you want to gather the most popular web analytics tools I think you should also quote AT Internet’s tool Analyzer (http://www.atinternet.com). This French company is a fierce competitor to Google Analytics, a lot of big European companies (but not only) and I think they are worth having a quick look at
