Business What website stats package are you using? - GoFuckYourself.com

Google Analytics is not an option.

What else is there? I need something that will show me keyword referrals.

Paid is fine.

Piwik's free, fast if you set up a cron job and might be available as a one click install with your hosting. It lists the keyword referrals but obviously much of the Google data is "not provided".

So is there no way to get Google search results?

Nop.i though same how it was due counter first but no,pesky bastard google simply hides that info.You might improvise by checking for what your site ranks.(there are seo tools which can automatically show such info)

It's from https://google.com and doesn't pass the data to you unless you're also on SSL.

You can look at search queries in your Google Webmaster Tools account. That gives impressions and clickthru's for different keywords but the data aren't complete and are an average.

You can filter by country but you can't get technology, new vs returning , bounce rates, conversions/goals etc. statistics from the data but it's better than nothing.

That is now Google's "proprietary information."
Thanks Matt

Suggest Awstats and Piwiki
Review what stats you really need from them and limit them to only deal with those data sets (to keep everything running as fast as possible). You will also want to run Cron(s) to sum data into summary tables as the raw data can get a little large.

There are other methods and things you could do but from a time & Cost POV these maybe your best choice.

Google Analytic are not true stats... They are assumed numbers based on data sampling with an error rate as stated by Google of 5-80%... Making them an educated guess at best.

Piwik is the way to go - I am afraid that the you can't get access to those KWs though - No way I know of anyway...
