Tracking
Hey, does anyone have any recommendations for a good tracking service that delivers useful information for SEO purposes? I want to know how many hits have come from each search engine (per day, week, month, and year), measured for each unique search query, or cumulative for each search engine. However, the main thing I want is the ability to separate organic results from PPC.
I've looked into this quite a bit but have never found anything that seems to do the trick.
Right now I'm looking into www.webtrends.com and www.indextools.com, but both seem to be a little bit over the top.

I'd love some feedback.
Thanks!
Free: statcounter.com and Google Analystics
Other Paid for: hitslink.com and OneStat.com
In general they all display comparable data.
Analystics has a slight advantage if also doing PPC since Adwords/AdSense data is managed by a separate system and also included.
