Invisible statistics

I would like to have various statistics about my WEB page, but don't want
them to be generally visible. What is the easiest way to do this?

As a minimum, I want a hit counter for the site (or home page). A hit
counter for every page would be a bonus. Further details (such as how
visitors arrive at my site) would be very nice. However, it is more important
to me to have a simple solution than a complete one (I would rather spend my
time developing content for my site).

The FP statistics available through the "top 10 list" apparently isn't
available from my host (www.apollohosting.com), even though they have FP
extensions. This is the explanation my host gave me when I queried them:
"I've done some research on the Frontpage Usage Analysis, and found that they
require that the server have sharepoint services enabled. Sharepoint
servicies however require that the server be using windows, unfortunately our
servers are all using linux as an operating system. This means that
sharepoint services won't work on the servers and as a result Usage Analysis
won't work either. "

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

there's plenty of sites around that offer free site and traffic statistics.
All you do is add a line of javascript or a #include line to your code; the
stats are stored on the remote site/companies server, you create an account;
you get multiple stats such as browser type, operating system version,
returning visitor, unique visitor, new visitor, referring page/link (eg if
they've come from a certain search engine for example).
etc etc

This one I use on some of my sites: www.stats4you.com
 
Urchin ver 5 is very nice.
