Extreme Tracking
This wonderful free service from the Netherlands has every stat you could ask for, intelligently broken down by category. This JavaScript-enhanced tracker offers you loads of information. You get totals by Web site, search engine, E-mail, Usenet, etc. and even can find out what keywords your visitors used to locate you. See a sample of their stats here. On top of everything else, Extreme Tracking is one of the fastest-loading trackers around (although the service's stats page can be slow to access at times). The only drawback to Extreme Tracking's free service is that your stats may be accessed by anyone.
