At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how they do their stats IMO. It doesn't matter how you convert. All that matters is what your check totals, your server stats, and what you feel as a level of trust (and even that is subjective depending on the check sum).

So maybe qualified hits helps them in a marketing strategy....but you could assume that in a lot of marketing strategies.

Now, qualified hits for a program assist in losing some of the "dead weight" stats as I like to term them. For example, Weg does first page hits, so if you email me and want to know our overall conversions, they may be less impressive than a site using qualified hits or even better, a program that has a lot of traffic.

The more traffic you have overall, the less your overall site / program conversions will appear impressive. Kind of the nature of the beast, however I don't think a lot of people get that. So is a program using "qualified hits" a better idea on conversions for someone sending quality traffic? Maybe.

And so, programs now have "qualified hits." Weg has a lot of traffic. And in a lot of traffic is some less quality traffic....

Hope I didn't ruin your thread...
