I’d say: definitely… ;) You should really check it out as there’s a chance you would find it useful. Interactive reports, “on-the-fly” filters and drill-down to individual visitors, to name some features. If you have any comments I will be glad to hear them.

BTW, thanks for listening!

Reviewing last log has some uses as well. However analytics does much better job at checking "alive" visitors. I am not saying it is perfect, or that one does not needs to watch bots and javascript disabled users. Personally, I do not need analyser (especially paid one) if his single bonus is faster 404 analysis, which is not daily nor even weekly task for me :) Maybe weblogstorming has something more to offer :) You are only partly right.

It's not free, though... I hope it's not inappropriate to post this comment here. If it is, please accept my apologies and remove it.
