See the reason why I am convinced you need MORE stats is simply because I can see it being a nice statistical breakdown of the specific sponsors effectiveness. For example, if it looks like 10% of the users are going to the order page - and they all bail, then first of all WHY is only 10% going to the order page and why are none buying. How can you increase the effectiveness of the 1st hit page to get MORE traffic to the order page without sending them blindly.

In this sense I suppose it is more beneficial to the paysite itself. But for the user it tells them how well the site flows for the user. I mean it may give them some insight on how to better send traffic. To play with their methods. If for example you send 1,000 to the 1st page. Then it tracks 450 to the second, and 2 buy... you've got 1:225 on the second page and 1:500 on the 1st.

What I am trying to get at I suppose is why not have BOTH there for everyone to see? It could prove to be very nice to see.

I mean it may explain why some of these sites are 1:2,500. Because no one gets past the 1st page. They all bail. But the users that DO get to the next page are very interested in buying.

To me that would mean simply targetted the traffic more and qualifying it better.
