All Hosting services give you some type of web stats, Hostgator gives me AWstats and Webalizer. That and Google Analytics will give you too much information, contributing to your information overload.
I check Google Analytics every day, and once in a while I will also check the AWstats, especially on a new site to verify that it is indexed by the search engines.
Looking at the stats for Mashing Windows, it seems that Google and Yahoo have found it, by MSN is missing in action.
The good news is that Alexa, the Web Archive and Ask have found this blog, along with 4 other robots in incognito.
