Phat sponsor stats?
 

Most of the traffic deals I've been involved in over the last year or two have been one-off deals, using our in house tracking software, etc. I haven't been logged into many standard sponsor stats programs for a while.

I was wondering if you guys had any favorite sponsor stats? Is there anything out there now that provides some really beneficial information to you that no one else is doing yet? Or do you even look at anything besides the $ amount?

I always liked Cybererotica's stats program. BradShaw used a version of that software, and had them set up really nice as well. Very easy to keep track of signups, etc. I think their new stuff even emails stats to you. Then there's the tried and true Click Thru Calvin, that does a good job of getting needed information to you. We've all logged into iBill, Epoch, and CCBill as well, and know what's going on there.

But I just wondered if there's anyone out there that's treating their webmasters to a little more information, etc. Or if people are starting to use their own ad/tracking software, and only check sponsor stats to see the total sales...

I find maxcash's stats are pretty helpful ... not sure, it's one of those things that you don't know you want that particular statistic until the one time you need it. but the $$ breakdown is the most important thing for me. referrers are always good too.

I think I started doing that in 1999
I dont really give a shit what kind of raw/unique/etc the sponsor stats show - because I'm aware of the clicks sent out.
However, sponsor stats that actually show which pages SIGNUPS come from, are very useful.

MaxCash has always had pretty solid stats. Like I said, I haven't logged in for a good while, but their setup was always well put together.


This was the single most valuable thing that I always found with stats as well. It gives you a clear idea of what traffic, links, and layouts are the most productive.

I guess not too much has changed in the last couple years. It's always good to check back in I guess :)

We at CE believe in giving Webmasters realtime stats which include raw hits, sign ups, referring URL's and paysite specific information in our multi-paysite programs.

Our programs also have 26 counters that will show you which link or banner is creating sales. When Webmasters are armed with this realtime information they can make changes on the fly throughout the day, testing which of their links are most productive.

We have all marketing models available from $40 per paid trial sign up (Follow Me), $45 per active member with a Free Sign up, 60% Partner Program all with credit for all exit console sign ups.

Our new program Pay It Forward pays up to $45 per free trial sign up and $5 per recurring member and has a 3 tiered Webmaster Referral program. It reports stats from all referrals and let's you email them.

That's what we are offering Webmasters nowadays. We keep trying to give Webmasters as much info as possible. Any suggestions are always welcome :-)
