mike, its almost like dubming down of webmasters time.

most of the time i no longer care about the hit counts, but fuck some cant even offer good daily stats or combined daily stats and offer hourly stats. What the fuck do i need hourly stats for ? does anyone really care about hourly stats ?

i never ask for much, but decent stats is probably the most important aspect of this biz that many affiliate programs cant provide. I have a feeling programmers write these stats interfaces without knowing what webmasters need and program operators dont take their time to see things from outside the box.

Well ... you'd be surprised ;-)

I received regular requests for more stats breakdowns .... some people like to see everything broken down hit by hit, minute by minute ;-)

you've got that right!
very few programmers have ever worked as webmasters ... and its a hard process of communication between marketing and technical.
And the problem is, what's good for 1 webmaster sucks for another.

I'd regularly have someone ask me for something one day, only to have someone else complain about it the next day. you can't please all the people all the time ;-)

Unless, you use statsremote ;-)
