Web Analytics for Many Domains

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.

Tom

Google Analytics or Microsoft's DeepMetrix should do the job. But it also depends on how much of a detailed analysis you are looking for and the time or resources you have. Pretty much all analytics package can track the domains as long as you have the same tracking code, but on a campaign level you could tweak the url's to give a much better view for the analytics.

I was trying to find a search engine independant product (not owned by them), but I might be stuck with those options to keep costs down.

Try talking to KeyWordMax.... get in touch with Lori and say Frank suggested you call... she may be able to help since they really rely on clicks/visitors etc. not actual domains as the count.
