I'd stick by his recommendation (it was him who had me try it). I ran that
script just once as it is powerful when it comes to tracking referrals.
However, for anything else, at least consider AWStats, which is a Perl
script. I still use it on a daily basis.

It sounds like the OP does not have a hard-core technical site because
he/she favours software (GUI) and not scripts. Google users are usually
more technical, at least statistically speaking. I have evidence because as
two non-technical sites are under my wing. They are not dominated and
dependent on Google referrals. I hear about similar experiences from
others.

I heard good things about Urchin so it is probably popular among the general
community. I never tried it myself though.
