    CCbill upgrades affiliates program. But is it enough ?

    Im interested to hear from webmasters to see if these upgrades are helpful or not ?

    "Starting today, we are excited to announce new changes and upgrades to the REPORTS area of the Affiliate Tab. This changed reporting functionality offers new details on the Sales per Click Report (AFFILIATES>Reports>Sales per Click), and includes the following changed/new fields:

    - Raw Clicks: (formerly known as ?clicks?) allows you to view the total number of times a banner or link advertisement is selected by a consumer.

    - Raw Ratio: (formerly known as ?clicks?) provides the proportion of sales to raw clicks, based on your search parameters.

    - Form Clicks: allows you to view the number of times consumers click on your sign up Form, based on your search parameters.

    - Form Click Ratio: provides you with the ratio of sales to form clicks for the search parameter provided."

        In fact no - what a load of crap

        Instead of having the clicks on transactions report they've shunted them away to a different page. So before i could check sales/rebills/ratios all on one page, and now i have to arse about looking up these details on different pages.

        Nice one CCBill thats really useful.

          NO amount of upgrading is going to get the system to where it SHOULD be. The whole sub account set up needs to be better integrated into the affiliate system. As it stands, for webmasters to obtain stats on a per site basis they must signup to every sub account (pay site), that?s even if the affiliate program will allow it.

          Anyway, I?m flying north and installing NATS.

            We had made some minor changes to our affiliate system. These changes in reports were necessary in order to commence the beta testing of new click functionality that we are planning on releasing unilaterally in a month or so. Based on initial feedback, we are making the ratio information available again, that should be in there shortly, if not already.

                            liked the fact that i don't have to scroll thru 100's of proggies with some clicks and zero sales. only ones that do matter (making sales) are listed.

                                It would be nice if CCBIll would show unique clicks and not raw.

                                  I liked it better when you could see the clicks on the transaction report without having to load another page. What happened to the earnings per click stat?

                                    Apparently not having all out stats in one easy to view page isn't whats best for us.

                                        I see they have attempted to fix it. But why would you not including non sale affiliates in the transactions total. Surely this should be the default option rather than having to tick a check box?

                                          They will be showing raws, uniques and even second page. The new stats will be cool.

                                                All you guys bitching about not being able to see clicks from sponsors without sales need to open your eyes. Unless they just added this

                                                    Just want to post my dissatisfaction with the new method ccbill is employing to display stats. Not being able to see the clicks and sales on the same page is freaking annoying as hell! What a gigantic pain in the arse to look at ratios.

                                                    What genius thought this would be a good idea?

                                                        Steer clear of ccbill - and you dont need all this shit.

                                                              I seriously doubt anything would be good enough for the lot of you. I've never seen more people who expect so much for doing so little, this whole industry is so pampered it's scary and kind of sad. Bunch of Prima Donnas around here.

Stats for yesterday are similarly weird. Are they only counting clicks that generate sales or something?

We understand that there may be some minor temporary issues with reporting and so forth and we have a team in place that is doing nothing but working on this. We are monitoring this thread (we may contact some of the people in this thread, if you are able to help, thank you in advance), as well as others, we are getting feedback from the people beta-testing the system, if you guys want to contact us about it, email me and ill get your issue/concern over to the right people ([email protected])

                                                                        This is a very big change and you guys will be VERY pleased to see all of the new features and functionality. We are obviously proceeding with caution and extreme prudence, as anyone should when you deal with a system containing with millions of affiliates and corresponding data. Any and all feedback will be appreciated and considered. Thank you in advance for this consideration.
                                                                        If you need a good company for check writing services, then check out checkissuing, and for webhosting, check out Phoenix NAP

We understand that there may be some minor temporary issues with reporting and so forth and we have a team in place that is doing nothing but working on this. We are monitoring this thread (we may contact some of the people in this thread, if you are able to help, thank you in advance), as well as others, we are getting feedback from the people beta-testing the system, if you guys want to contact us about it, email me and ill get your issue/concern over to the right people ([email protected])

We are obviously proceeding with caution and extreme prudence, as anyone should when you deal with a system containing with millions of affiliates and corresponding data. Any and all feedback will be appreciated and considered. Thank you in advance for this consideration.

                                                                                fact is ccbill has a horrible interface, and THAT is what needs to be worked on...everything needed for a good stats backend is there, the interface is what makes it such a pain in the ass though

I could care less about bells and whistles, but it makes it imposable to fine tune traffic and sales with out having the breakdown of where our sales are coming from.

                                                                                    I could only hope you guys are adding these kind of basic features..I would hope that you might offer the same kinda of tracking ability as programs like NATS offer. That and the ability to set up campaigns would be great.

                                                                                    Would also help if we could get to any pages within two to threes clicks.. CCBills navigation and the admin areas slowness make me dread logging in.

                                                                                    Don't that what I say in the wrong manor, as I'm only trying to offer some constrictive criticism. I just really think a billing processer such as ccbill should offer a bit more than plane jane stats.
