Setting this site up has been very enlightening on a number of fronts. I have previously worked on my wifes site www.dailydevotions.com.au building that in Joomla 1.0. I used an excellent stats package there called JoomlaStats along with the obligitory Google Analytics. I cannot find a component that comes close to the functionality of JoomlaStats for 1.5. Unfortunately the 1.5 version is due Q2 2009 according to their site.
On another site I even tried using JoomlaStats in Legacy mode but it cause the site to crash. I didnt pursue it. Shame really, my mate Jim Stewart reminded me the other day that one of the benefits of JoomlaStats was its ability to tell you when bots came past for scrape, very handy when building (or re-building in this case) a new site. I have missed it as I try to build an audience etc. I am currently using Google Analytics and JoomlaWatch, not 100% happy, mainly cause I need some of their code on my site which displays a little icon at the bottom.
I would like to try Woopra and have applied but as its in beta I may have to wait, I will also look at Counter.GD joomla counter & stats in time.
