The Web analytics webpart is an Out Of The Box (OOTB) webpart to display the results on a page. Compared to the reports this webpart is limited.

The webpart displays the most viewed content, most frequent search queries from a site, or most frequent search queries from a search center. Other settings are the Site Scope: This Site Collection, This Site and Subsites and This Site only; Period: 24 hours – 180 days; Item Limit: max 100; Exclude items with a certain title and six options to set on how to show the results in the webpart. A nice feature is the RSS feed!
