What we spent the most time talking about though was a brand new offering, blvdStatus, a stats package that focuses not just on providing accurate and detailed statistics, but also an emphasis on conversions.

I'm not particularly interested in yet another system designed to track sales conversions." This one is different though. Ever been curious as to which RSS subscribers click on what? Been interested in where folks discover your RSS feed from or what stories turn a casual blog reader into a blog subscriber? These are the types of conversions they track.
