Have you guys tried basil. the theme of its interface i must say looks a little like mint, however these guys seem to be dead on track with producing simple reports on you stats data. The app seems new but their features turn around is quite impressive.

The tunnel-defining process is only really useful if your site has some "goals".

For most commercial sites, a "goal" is the page that confirms the customer has actually forked out some cash to buy something on the site. Turning a browser into a buyer is called a "conversion".

Oh, Analytics drives me mad, too. The worse thing is that I don't really understand what some of the graphs represent so in the end I'm just making up things to get concerned about. It's rdiculous.
