Heya 
I have a suggestion on how to combat right clicking non-counts and reduce bounce rate at the same time, recently Basti created a Exit page Plugin which i think should be included as a core-feature in every Visiolist version with the ability to disable it.
The reason why i think it would be good is because it would reduce the right-click non count if it was made the primary out url, as in that whether a right click or left click the user would have to be taken to that page instead displaying the site url when you hover, this way a out click would only count if the user would go through the exit page which would make out clicks a lot more accurate as it would also count every right click as it currently does not for my site.
The benefit:
1. It would lower the bounce rate which is good as Google would see this as your site having relevant content as it did with mine (i assume) my Bounce rate user to be a constant 50% - 60% which quite bad as it shows the majority of users are leaving after 1 pageview which shows that they did not find your site interesting enough to look at more pages, my bounce rate is currently 29.68% on average for the past month which is quite good.
2. It would give you the chance to thank the user for using your site.
3. If would give you more page views in general which means if you have adverts you would earn more on CPM
4. You can add some adverts on the exit page thereby earning more from adverts.
5. You would reduce non-counted hits to other sites which would give you more hits in the stats which would look a lot more appealing to potential webmasters.
Example of a Exit page that Basti has created:
http://maxleech.com/forward/rapid8/
Although the problem still remains with the right clicking, this can be fixed by removing the target sites url while hovering over their listing have a look at the target site while hovering:
if i look in the source code of that page i see this:
Now the "out(this,'rapid8');" could be place in the Exit page and only be activated if a user goes through the exit page and the "http://rapid8.com/" could be changed to the exit page URL, yes that minute detail might not look as nice but it's costing us outclick stats which look really good to potential webmasters who might give us a load of traffic.
Or this could be turned into a plugin

HTML:
<a href="http://rapid8.com/" onclick="out(this,'rapid8');" class="show_banner" title="Rapid8 - Rapidshare, Bitshare, Oron" rel="nofollow">Rapid8 - Rapidshare, Bitshare, Oron</a>Or this could be turned into a plugin
its a regular HTML link.. but the beauty is you are free to hack your list anyway you like
