Let's petition ccbill to fix their affiliate interface
It's broken. Really badly.
Firstly, if you try to search transactions over a period of more than about 45-60 days, it bombs out after a couple of minutes with a server error. You have to keep retrying, each time reducing the period, and waiting another 3-4 minutes for it to die:
Secondly, once you get useable output it's in 3 sections:
Because the "show clicks" screens are linked via javascript you cannot do "open in new window..." to keep your base (working!) screen open. If you need to return to that, it's considered a form submit and you have to wait AGAIN for the stats monster to gather its things.... and potentially bomb.
So if you need to view sponsors in all 3 sections over a decent sales period you'll be spending a minimum of 6-8 minutes just waiting for the base screen to refetch and return the results.
There have been other recent "improvements" such as only calculating the ratio on accounts that had sales by default... totally bizarre. If one account has 50 clicks and one sale, the other has 10,000 clicks and no sales, your average ratio is reported as 1:50! Just about everything else on the planet would include the 0:10000 stat and consider the total to be 1:10050
C'mon ccbill, this has been broken for literally ages... at least a year... PLEASE when are you gonna fix it? Please!!
