You can even still track hits today :)." You are either uninformed, naive, crazy or all of the above. WebTrends is so different from it's earlier days, it is like night and day. Back in the day when they (and other vendors of that time period) first came out, they were all log analyzers (more or less). WebTrends has long offered page tagging (i.e. javascript tags) that allows its customers to track site interaction such as Visitors, Visits and yes, Page Views. I don't believe they even have reports that include Hit as measure. More so, WebTrends, has been a leader in offering new ways to measure site interaction, such as Events, that allows for better site optimization. All that said, Page Views are an outdated measurement, but WebTrends is no better or worse than other vendors, such as Google Analytics which you are using for this site.
