Comments:



My main comment is that we need to be able to track how many clicks came from 

each link to a partner page from our site. So, for example, there are 6 links to 

VMware's site on their product page; there should thus> be, in the report tool, 6 

URL entries, and the clearer they can be the better. That is, if it's possible to 

connect the link's text copy with the URL, so much the better.

> * by default results should group by day, not group by URL; first field

> * make it clear there are no reports prior to start date (July 8?)

> * VMware results - URL too long

> * "date" for year results is always 1/1/00?

> * change "hits" to 'Clicks"

> * search by date should be earliest first, latest at bottom most recent

> * add instruction "click on URL to see summary of all links to that URL"
