What do you use to analyze your IIS log files?

Currently I'm using awstats which is a very nice free log analyzer. It has a lot of nice statistics. One stat is the referrers however I would like to see which page that the referrer linked too. It is also nice that you can see the search phrases used to get to your site, but I would also like to know which page is associated with a particular search phrase. As far as I can tell these are not available in awstats.

Does anyone know how to get these with awstats? Or can anyone recommend another free log file analyzer that will do this? I'm mostly interested in page counts and referrers.

SmarterTools has a pretty good tool, and if you only need it for one site, it's free.

Would you believe I still have an ancient version of Webtrends on a couple of my sites?

I have only recently been doing log analysis, and have used Analog. It is all command line driven (no interface), but has versions for Unix/Linux/Windows/Mac (etc). It is completely free and outputs a pure HTML report.

I have been reasonably happy so far.
