I use extremetracking.com and it is free. The downsides are that anybody can look at my stats and it will only monitor one page (the index.html page).
Are there free or VERY cheap equivalents that can track multiple pages?

I use a Freebie from SiteMeter for my site MikeZornek.com
Site meter pluses are you can track every page, turn off public viewing (although I have it on on MZ.com so peek away) and a nice collection of numbers, even in it's free varient.
Check it out.

Wow... sitemeter seems pretty damned good. My one questions is: can you block your own ip so that your own visits don't distort the numbers?

What I like about SiteMeter so far is that the icon it forces you to put on your webpages is very small and unobtrusive (the one I chose, anyway), its statistics are pretty comprehensive and well laid out, and it lets you block your ip.
I tested OneStat today and I dropped it immediately once I found out I couldn't block my own ip. I don't care how often I come to web page. Its everyone else I'm curious about...
SiteMeter also gives good stats including how many page views each individual visitor has, and how long each visitor stayed on your site. I haven't seen any free trackers that give you that last one...
The one thing I wish the free version of SiteMeter would do, (OneStat does it), is I wish it would rank which pages on my site are most popular. To access that feature, you have to pay.
Fortunately, SiteMeter does keep track of which page each visitor enters and exits on so you get at least a little idea of which pages people are looking at.
Extreme Tracker kept track of a lot of little things most free trackers didn't, like which search engines and search key words brought people to the site, but it only worked for the index page so that is a deal breaker.
I'm pretty happy with SiteMeter. Still curious, though, if there is anything better.

After logging in go to the bottom of the page, you'll see a link called Edit Acount under a tools column.
On the next page you see a list of links on the left side, choose "Ignore Visits".
From here you can block yourself. Understand with the free version you only block your IP's D class ie:
1.2.3.*
so it will in reality block you and the other 254 on that class block. The paid for one can block specific IPs.
Good luck with it!
