The article posted at http://blogs.zdnet.com/micro-markets/?p=408 brings up the point that they're certainly giving the right numbers from their "perspective" but when they're determining what a valid vs invalid click are it pretty significantly biases the stats. I can have a 100% conversion ratio if I only count valid visitors as those who convert. ;) But that's just one SEO's opinion (oh, and a zdnet writer). :) Oh my, now you’re going to be taking some hits. :)
