I have been looking at numerous web analytics software options the last few months and have run into a roadblock with my situation. Basically I have about 100 domains that I am looking to track with about 90% of those domain utilizing organic search. The number of domains will probably increase by 100 every 6 months. Currently my domains are on two VPS shared hosting servers.
What I have found is that all the analytics packages in hosted scenario have a fairly large per domain fee for tracking or a limited number of domains per plan, which with 100+ domains adds up quickly. Since the revenue per domain will probably be small with the organic search I can't justify the added expense. With the analytics software options which reside on the customers server, the one time cost is usually pretty substantial and that is a per server cost, which again starts to add up with multiple servers + costs on future upgrades and support. I also don't really want to have to take on the role of IT mgr and manage my own servers.
In short, I am trying to find a good analytics package that offers a lower cost plan to cover 100's of domains. I am not looking for free, but I don't want to pay an arm and a leg either, there doesn't seem to be much in the middle. Let me know if anyone has come across anything for my situation. Thanks.
