I use it and I love it, but IMO it costs way too much.
And there's a lot of weird stuff that it doesn't show and sometimes it shows me different stats than if I logged in.

I <3 StatsRemote! :thumbsup

Well, some people say it's really cheap, others say it costs way too much. I guess it's the same as with everything else :)

As for the weird stuff... in most of the cases it's because of changes in stats or database problems if StatsRemote temporary shows wrong numbers.

Two examples:

1. Last week CCBill changed their stats and StatsRemote suddenly only showed hits, but no sales, rebills and $$$.

2. Certain programs have database problems quite often. You rarely notice it if you check your stats manually a few times a day but StatsRemote checks the stats as often as every 15 minutes and sometimes shows wrong numbers because of these temporary database problems. Usually it's corrected again during the next scheduled stats update.

Just wondering if you received your welcome mail? I ask because another mail I sent to you bounced.

I only use a couple main sponsors. Not enough of a time saver for me. If I used 10+ then I would be inclined to.

I LOVE the program though- it's fantastic.

I'm overall happy with it, I just wish it would stop crashing on me.

dont want to run another program on my system. but really i like checking stats at the sponsors stats page instead.

I'm using Revstats. Sorry.

I'd rather save $30 and take the extra 10 mins to manually chekc my stats.

Could you please make sure that you have all the latest updates and service packs installed - http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ - if not please install them.

If that doesn't help please reinstall the Microsoft JVM and reboot your machine. The problem is that sometimes original components are replaced when you install other software and that might cause the problems.

Also, do you run Zone Alarm on your machine? A few of our users had crashing problems and they were gone when they didn't use Zone Alarm anymore. The strange thing is that many of our members run StatsRemote together with Zone Alarm with no problems at all. We tested it on our machines as well and StatsRemote never crashed when Zone Alarm was running.

If you run Zone Alarm on the machine could you please try the following: Disable Zone Alarm and set it to not start at startup. Then reboot the machine and start StatsRemote.

50 StatsRemote users...

No need to be sorry... their system is pretty good as well :)

Personally I think it's cheap since the updates are regural and fast. How much does it cost? $30/month? I can tell you all of us pay a shitload of money to things that have much less value for the # they cost. Another thing, e-mail JB and ask for a program to add that happens to be the only one using it. I can tell you on the next update it will be there.

Not only that, but I'm a cheap fuck and I love to check my sponsors manually!

I haven't used it. It seems like a nice program and I would rather pay $20 or 21.95 a month for the service. The main reason I don't use it is because I use roboform to log into stats. Takes a few min a day only.

Stats Remote is easily the best $30 a month I spend. It's paid for itself many times over.

I can easily open it up and see how sales are going today, how sales went yesterday, forecasts for this month. I can easily see who is converting and who isn't so I know where to put more effort. I can easily see big jumps or drops in traffic, which helps me see where I may have got new listings, etc.

I love Stats Remote.

Because there is no Linux version and it does not execute properly under wine.
Build a Linux, Solaris or HP-UX version and I will buy it :)

what he said :thumbsup

I use it, but would love to have the ability to use tabs. This way I can organize sponsors more easily.

For instance, I promote to 3 seperate companies. Having them on their own tab with their own totals would be awesome! Instead of all mixed in to one, or spread out over 3 computers and only running one copy at a time.

Just my :2 cents: !

But it's an awesome program that's well worth the money!

I love Stats Remote! :thumbsup

Why statsremote requires Microsoft JVM?:uhoh

Very true.. its very handy.

When you put it like one of the posters did it really is $365/year.. which isnt pocket change. . .

10 min every day = 300 min a month....
if 5 hours of your time doesn't worth 30 bucks, well....sucks to be you.

Oracle's brain transplant was successful.

Before Stats Remote I would spend at least an hour a day checking and analyzing stats. Thats well over 300 hours a year. By spending $365 a year I save 300 hours, thats $1 an hour. Now I don't know about you folks, but my time is MUCH more valuable to me than $1 an hour.

$365 a year IS pocket change.

Yep I did, thanks :)

1 email received.

I like the *kaching* it makes for every sale. It's kinda inspiring :winkwink:

I was going to check it out but the trial required a pre-payment and I doubt I could find time in just 3 days to really look at it. You need a longer trial or a demo membership for a month.

As well in these times when so many things seem to be going wrong (Ibill) I think I have become very conscious of all the little costs. And like someone said for $29.95 / mo I could get a new TM3 install etc. I seem to be becoming very cheap.

Those points aside I would love to try it, as I think it may be a valuable tool for spotting trends quickly.

i want to sell stats remote to other webmasters as an affiliate.

can you set me up on your affiliate program?

i am an avid SR user, and i can send you a lot of business.

thanks,
vi

Firstly, thanks for all the good words guys :)


Of course, people would rather pay $20 than $30 but most people are either willing to pay money for such a software or not. BTW if you get a yearly subscription you only pay $24.92 per month :)

And you can't really compate using roboform to using StatsRemote. Roboform just helps you to login to the stats in your browser while StatsRemote does a lot more.

If you want to check it out please send the following info to jb AT statsremote DOT com

- Email Address
- Desired Username
- Desired Password

I will then setup a temp pass for you.


Maybe you shouldn't drink wine when you execute it :winkwink:

Seriously, what's the problem with executing it under windows?


Because it's a Java software.


If you get a yearly subscription you only pay $299 per year :)

Also, IMHO if $30 per month is too much for a tool that can save you many hours every month you don't value your time enough.


Three days should be more than enough to know whether StatsRemote is for you or not. Most of our members can't live without it anymore after the first day :) You download the software, enter all your accounts and you're done. StatsRemote will check all your stats including historical stats and then check your stats every 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours... however you set it.

One of the smartest things Oracle ever said.

We don't have a referral program anymore and don't plan to launch a new one. We had hundreds of affiliates but less than 5% of our sales came through affiliates and many of them were members that only referred themselves to get the software cheaper.

If we opened a new referral program many people would again just signup to get the software cheaper. And if we opened an invite only program many of our members wouldn't be too happy if we didn't let them sign up.

Sorry...

Even before working for the creators of StatsRemote, I've always liked the product from what I've seen. The reason I don't use it is because I'm strictly a programmer and don't promote affiliates.

We went a head and got it for the year.


:glugglug

Yep, more and more people are switching from monthly to yearly as they are certain that they will use StatsRemote for a long time :)

cant afford it right now, have to pay off dr bills from 2 broken wrists and right now I have no income....:(

Sorry to hear that :(

me 2... :mad:

Love it! More addictive than crack.
Great for watching ppc numbers and knowing if something is going wrong like last week on google one of my "keywords" was "slowed" so they slowed my entire ad. Could have cost me a bunch of money if I hadn't noticed for a day or so.
Very good for comparing sponsor to sponsor all the way down to the cost per click level.

while I do love statsremote, i BARELY check my stats as it is....I am one of the few that only checks stats one day every two weeks or month....i take a while day and make it stats day...
