Traffic stats
Compiled webalizer and now I have an hourly cron job generating cute (if relatively useless) site traffic statistics.
Webalizer is pretty cool.. written in C, quite fast and definitely cheaper than Web Trends (tm)! (Free is my favourite price...).
I'm having a tad of a problem getting it to ignore my own domain as a referer though..

If you figure out the how to get it to ignore your own domains and ip addresses, I'd love to know.
It kicks the snot out of web trends, imho. Trends has more features but you never learn how to use them so it's paying for stuff you aren't using which seems dumb.

I've always liked analog + report magic. Analog can output to an ASCII file, which I imported into SQL and combined with ecommerce site sales to generate some really cool reports.
Webtrends bites. The expense involved when you run multiple load-balanced servers is rediculous.
