This is what many of our members want. The thing is that they want to get an idea of their total raw and unique hits and ratios. If we only displayed raw hits for some programs and only unqiue hits for other programs, the totals would be useless. The way it's set up now is of course not perfect but people get an idea of their totals.

See above... the problem is that programs provide different things, so we would have many columns for hits (1st page raw, 1st page unique, 2nd page unique, join page, etc.) but you wouldn't have any idea how many hits you send in total.
It won't be possible to make everybody happy but I talked about this with many of our members and I know that most of them like the way it's set up now.

I don't know what RevStats did and they are not around anymore. All I can say is that from our experience it would be a nightmare if we read the stats of individual sites for many programs. We've already had a lot of problems with the current setup and we always need to tweak things because programs can't handle the load our members produce. Also, I don't want to risk that more companies start to block StatsRemote completely or block the IP's of our members. I rather offer a software that works and doesn't have all possible features than offer a software with all possible features and after a while only works for half the programs.
