SmarterStats v3.x from SmarterTools Incorporated
If you have not seen or heard of SmarterStats and you are interested in tracking the stats of your web site or even a site for a client then give this application a look, you will not be disappointed. There are three editions of the application:
- Free
- Professional
- Enterprise
At the time of this post a license starts at $249.00 for 50 sites which from my point of view is a very reasonable price considering the cost. As we all know being able to clearly understand the visitors that hit a web site by browser type, geographic region, or even by referrer is extremely important if we wish to make sense of the hidden data that can produce valuable information if you just understand what that data means. This is where SmarterStats does all the work for you thus allowing you to reap the benefits of all that information with ease.
Installing this product is just as simple as using the product itself. I have installed in on Windows Vista SP1 without any issues.

In just a few clicks I had this product installed and now I was ready for the configuration.
