Yep... here's a quote from an article I wrote about two years ago:
---
Whether you use a software or check your stats manually there is one thing you should always remember: Sponsors count hits differently. Some sponsors count first page raw's, some count second page unique's, and others seem to count eighth page unique's even though there is no eighth page. It always amazes me when people compare the ratios of two sponsors that count hits totally differently and base their decisions only on these ratios.
Therefore a software like StatsRemote can only help you to a certain extend. You will have all your numbers right in front of you but you still have to make the right decisions by yourself. Always remember: A fool with a tool is still a fool ;-)
