List of Plugins:
We looked at a couple other aside from what we usually use for analytics including the one included in the Jetpak plugin WP-Stats which you need a WordPress.com account for. Below are the ones we use and recommend.
Google Analyticator:
Google Analyticator adds the necessary JavaScript code to enable Google Analytics logging on any WordPress blog. This eliminates the need to edit your template code to begin logging. Google Analyticator also includes several widgets for displaying Analytics data in the admin and on your blog.
