Analyzing Site Stats - What do you use?

I would be interested to know what tool do you use for analyzing your site's stats.
And why you are using it?

For me, I both use Google Analytics and Awstats. They are really helpful for me to see where most of my traffic came from and to determine if my traffic is increasing or decreasing...

I sometimes use awstats because it's so simple...but i havn't found a way of blocking my ip (there probably is though).

I also mainly use analytics..but annoyingly, my isp changes my IP every few months (for some reason), so blocking my own IP is a bit useless.

I used to use statcounter (stores up to 500 records for free, but cheap to unlock that)....it has a neat feature where you can follow each users exact path through your website (which I don't think analytics offers).

I like Google Analytics as an easy to use, real page visit counter.
I am not so keen on logfile counters which pick up every little thing, but that's my preference.

I use Summary and have done for several years. I've got stats going back to 2004 from several hosting companies and can compare stats by the day right back to the beginning.

Why? It gives me lots of figures that I can use for my own analysis and also provide to potential and existing advertisers.

It's not free...
