Although this may be hard to do, it would be great to split your sponsors who are reporting 1st and 2nd page uniques as these are different ballparks.

It seems I get this comment each month... and my typical reply is that no one should focus only on the unique ratio. I try to provide other information most namely the "traffic rank" to help people understand which sponsors are important to me. Important = $

I tried in the past to streamline and highlight which program tracks which way and it was a disaster, so I gave up.

My stats may help some and not others.
