Any logger should trap inbound emails and verify them against a stored list... hence, you've got a built-in differentiator for VIEWS and VISITS (rather along the sitemeter.com paradigm). What's interesting to me is the fact that I had built this, and intended to extend it for out site and for a client's long before I came into contact with sitewatcher.
Incidentally, I'm seriously considering making a simple-but-effective webservice based counter module for the traditional counter user... blogs, online diaries, simple ecom sites... I'm intending to have it be installed in the application scope via cfobject or createObject() on the client end and then use simple calls back to the WS provider for updateCount and so on, and then have a simple function for returning an Alagad ImageCFC-produced counter based on configuration provided via forms on our end. ALOT like sitewatcher, only in CF (frankly I think it's really a shame that the only widely-used counter is in ASP...) So... would anyone use it? Would anyone pay for the service if it were devloped richly enough to provide for needs? I know people pay for Urchin... I'm actively looking for feedback on a service that uses CF-native data structures and so on.
