all-in-one stats

[f00sion]

i posted this on the main forum and nobody seemed to care..maybe its a better fit here?

so im sitting at my desk yesterday and getting sick and tired of logging in to 10 different sites to check my stats..so i spent a few hours (on company time of course!) and put together a little tool that goes out and retrieves the stats from a few different programs and shows them on one screen.. here is a screenshot from it: (please note all the cash I am raking in )

is there any other program out there like this? If i put some more time into it would anybody want to use it? it would be free.. so far it works with ccbill, weg, and lightspeed.
gimme suggestions.

completely free, just something im doing for fun...i will put some banners or something around, i can only hope they are as successful as my tgp galleries have been .. the way it is setup now you can have as many different logins for the 3 programs as you want..it just displyas 4 per page and you can navigate with next and previous buttons at the bottom of the page... what are other popular programs that I should add?

Are you scraping with sockets or just using hahahahahahas? Cool idea either way. Too bad more programs don't provide XML output of stats. This could be a really useful tool if there was some standard in how programs distributed their sales data to affiliates...not that there *should* be a standard...just would be neat if there was. I'm kind of a communist though.

its doing a screen scrape and then using regular expressions to get the appropriate rows from the tables... do any programs provide an xml interface? even if it wasnt standardized it would make things a helluva lot easier.

I haven't found anyone in this industry that provides an xml anything (except for ibill...but...). I think the problem is that the majority of the people that could use such an interface don't have the financial resources to develop any kind of useful front end for it. This could be where you come in ;) Come up with a standard sales stats dtd...and send it around to some program operators and see if they'll output it. Even if you got the top 5 programs out there to participate...it would be a great tool! Plus once those 5 come on they all will..heh. The other COOL thing this would allow you to do is combine sales data across programs to get overall performance. This would be a fun project.

yeah, thats a good idea, i will work on putting something together. I was definitely thinking of at least putting in a total revenue count for all the programs, but more extensive reports would be awesome. I gotta wait a couple weeks for this semester to be done and i will be able to devote a lot more time to it.

I downloaded statsremote, nice program. $30/month is quite pricey though, im sure its worth it if you are managing that many different accounts.
what i have right now is pretty bulky...I will probably change the first page to a summary page that will show you the monthly revenue from each program and when you click on a certain one it will break it down by site.

letme know when its ready:-)
