I need a hit counter for my various pages, but I can't use google analytics (my client isn't ready for cloud computing) and I can't use anything that requires access to the IIS logs (the server administrator owns them and doesn't want to give them up)
What resources are there for user usage tracking for what is essentially a hosted ASP.NET account?
I'm running an ASP.NET application on IIS 6. I've turned on health monitoring, but so far that is just creating log data with no analytics.
I recently wrote up a list of (mostly) free GA alternatives.

Many of these are cloud-based, but there are some that are completely hosted as well. I cannot recommend a particular solution, but the most popular self-hosted packages look like Grape Web Statistics (http://www.quate.net/grape), Open Web Analytics (http://www.openwebanalytics.com/) and Piwik (http://piwik.org/).
