I think there should be a box somewhere that says what % of the manga released in a given time period was of a certain genre, to track trends in translations.
As well as which genres got what % of clicks in comparison.

IE, if shonen genre mangas was getting 50% of the user clicks, scanslators could then decide what series to translate (assuming they were doing it based on popularity), as well as checking to see what genres are dominating the "market" in comparison to the demand of the users.

I see the message behind this suggestion, clearly ;P

Actually, I think this has uses other than what you're thinking of, this just happens to coincide with the other point I made, as well as my activity on these forums.

As we don't have enough groups scanlating Naruto, Bleach, ...

Actually, they can use the stats to see what titles aren't getting enough attention and maybe devote some time to that, instead.... I think it's a feasible idea.... but it's a double edge sword.... some scanlators may just hop on the popular bandwagon and then we'd end up with ten groups translating shit like suzuka and ichigo100%.

Well, that's a point, but I think we all already know what's popular and what it's not even without this.
