And if    http://www.statcounter.com/features/    is not actually a
demo of what they already have for an agency i bet my money they have
a huge potential to be one. But aren't these old school tricks

The good old Microsoft saying goes almost like this, i.e " If a third
party script is embedded in your website its no longer your website (
or unless the third party is your big brothers website ) "
