Currently I'm using AWStats and SiteTrafficStats...

AWStats is a host install and only shows the barest of info while STS is a "code on page" install and does quite a good job of tracking the pages that I've added it to...

One thing I feel they're both missing or I'm missing is the ability to find out more about how & why people came to my site.... I can see my referrer logs and Search engine keywords... But i'd like to see "who" actually came from them and how long they stayed etc etc.... Basically I'd love to track the IP around my site and see what they did and if they return and how often etc etc...

I'm getting roughly 600 hits a month and nearly 500 of those are "new" meaning they've only ever been to the site once...

Bear in mind that this is only a blog but I'm in the process of setting up some more stuff so I'd like to see what "type" of visitors I'm getting...

Does anyone have any ideas how to implement some of the above or am I just babbling?

Seems that I saw something like that (hotscripts.com maybe), but it wasn't free.
