Google Analytics may give you the results you want to know and even "for free", but I and with me many others, block them (using Ghostery or other browser plugins) since you as a web-site owner are essentially selling my soul to Google. If I want to sell my soul, I'll do so myself to a company of my own choice, thank you very much.

I would encourage you to look for alternative scripts that just parse your web servers logs and give almost as much useful information without leaking it to dubious advertisment companies such as Google.
