I’ve been a faithful Google Analytics user for a long time and for web measurement of large enterprise-level sites you can’t beat the features for the price. But for low-volume blog sites with regular readers, Google Analytics leaves something to be desired. Now enters Clicky Web Analytics onto the web measurement landscape as a good alternative to track blog visitors on a more personal level. It includes the ability for feedburner usage reports, provides real-time stats and works with browsers that have disabled JavaScript. You can use the service free for up to 3 sites with under 1,000 average daily page views per site. Beyond those traffic levels, they have a scalable payment fee scale. I’m giving it a test drive. If you use it, let me know how you it fares for you.

Excellent find Phil - I installed this on My Thermos today.
A useful tweak I found is to have it ignore my own visits so I get a true number, one uncluttered by my visits and admin functions.
I can’t seem to get it to access my feedburner info yet but I just activated so I’ll give it some time to sync up.
I’ll keep you posted as I get some real data there.

Yes, it looks to be promising. I’m going to run both clicky and a Google Analytics for a month or two and see which turns-up being the most useful. It has some promising features. Feedburner is always slow as mud w/ changes, so I’d see what happens by the morning. cool stuff.
