I came across the Wassup Stats plugin for Wordpress. There are alot of features that the regular Wordpress stats plugin lacks and is definitely worth the install if you like keeping track of your visitors and blogs statistics. It works similar to Urchin but, the Wassup plugin tracks your visitors in real-time so you can take a look and see the number of people viewing at anytime along with your regular detailed stats with out waiting a few hours to view your details. The plugin is not really a replacement for Wordpress Stats plugin as it does not keep a track of your stats over a period of time like the page views and visitors per day, month, but it does help you keep a track of what your visitors are reading and how they surf your blog. It is even WP 2.5 compatible. So far all you SEO and statistic lovers this plugin is a definite to add you your list.

The install is simple:
All you need to do is download the plugin, unzip it and upload it to your plugins folder, go to your admin panel plugin options and activate it. That’s it. Then you can go to the Wassup tab in your admin panel and start seeing your results immediately with the different view screens. The regular one allows you to see your traffic, search engine referrals, user activity and more, then you have the current visitor view tab and the SPY visitors tab. The SPY view is pretty sweet. It allows you to watch your visitors activity in real time.

Some of the features listed on the site:

WassUp shows a lot of data from who is visiting your blog like:
ip / hostname
referer
spider
search engines used
keywords
SERP (search engine result page)
operating system / language / browser
pages viewed (chronologically and per user session)
complete user agent
name of user logged in

The admin console is very nice and you can customize it by:
records by date range
records per page
records per entry type (spider, users logged in, comment’s authors, search engine, referer)
expand/collapse informations (with ajax support)

There are 4 views:
Spy view like Digg Spy
