The "Visits vs Uniques" graph is one of the worst I have seen. When your Y-Axis has such variable jumps it just makes the graph completely irrelevant. I would say it was intentionally skewed to mislead, but sometimes the jumps work in your favor and sometimes not, so I just can't understand the reasoning.

Equally spaced increments go by 500k, 1mm, 500k, 1mm, 600k.

Charts are meant to give a visual representation of data, if you skew the chart then you may as well be skewing the numbers.
