Statistics can be calculated from the zope access logs
(by default, called Z2.log).  Use any http log analysis program
to generate stats from the logfile. I use analog.
To serve the analog-generated stats with zope, I put them
in a directory served by LocalFS.

That said, I haven't figured out how to track specific pages visited
by specific users. I'm not sure if analog can get that detailed.

Note that in some versions of zope, there was a formatting bug in the 
http log output (an extra space near the beginning of the line). 
AFAICT this did not exist in zope 2.5.1, did exist in 2.6.1, and seems to 
be fixed by zope 2.6.2 beta 3.
I worked around the bug with the following line in my analog config:
LOGFORMAT (%S  - %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j %j] "%j %r %j" %c %b "%f" "%B")

Another issue I haven't addressed yet, is that these stats show
the raw URL requests - including the long URLs used by Virtual HOst Monster.
