What's the catch ?

;-)

No catch. It's for real!

Does the trick.

Do they allow you to use the cascading billing feature with say ccbill? Or are you stuck just using only paycom?

no you can use ccbill and several others, even your own MA i think

It's an online version hosted on Epoch's servers. The only thing I don't like about it so far is the link code structure.

if anyone has questions about EpochStats, powered by MPA3, feel free to hit me up.
You can also take a look at an article I wrote about the new program:

I played around with it a couple of weeks ago... pretty slick I have to say :thumbsup

The catch is that you have to have Epoch as first in the cascade. Fair enough.

Great article Rainey :thumbsup http://www.xbiz.com/article_piece.php?cat=47&id=22510

I was thinking about it, however I like to get an email when I get an order and they don't do it.

On the content stores it's essential and if I move the paysite over I will move the content store over as well.

Love waking up in the morning to all the emails saying we had joins.

Fix that and I will look into it.

I dont see why not. I get emails on every join that I put through Epoch. If you are having trouble with that feature, call Epoch and I am sure they will have an answer for you.
I know Lange put a lot of effort into Epoch stats and it looks great.
Cascading billing
Reliable stats engine
Fast customer service
I get higher join rates (UP 12% to 15% for Maxhardcore.com)
And they can pay out your webmasters, even your secondary ccbill joins.
Hell ask John Thorpe, at Epoch. He can tell you what you need to know or get it done.

PS.
I love seeing those join emails too. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling in the morning.

Anyone have an example of what the link codes look like?

Much obliged!

no problem, so far I am 0:5 on this thread... :1orglaugh

will have to check it out

also, is it available for paycom eu customers?

i will be checking it out very soon.

Absolutely :thumbsup

with all the surfers here, you could maybe get a join ... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Oystein,

This is just my opinion, but I don't like the idea of everyones link codes looking the same.

Having the paysite url in the link code is so important on many dif levels IMO. Can't you figure out an easy way to achieve this with the online version?

Such as with a redirect script on the paysites domain?

I will try to get it sorted out. I did ask my rep and got an email back saying it was not possible.

Wonder if anyone from Paycom will be at the Majorca show.

paul, yes you positively can get sale confirmation emails from paycom, but you sound like the type that should have stats remote and set the little bell to go off each time you get a sale

Here is what the Free Hosted Gals look like.

Where can I find more info on this? Is there a demo up?

i agree, the link code does suck a little..

awesome!!

Feel free to post your questions or send me an email. As someone mentioned, Lange has put an incredible amount of work into making EpochStats, Powered by MPA3, a top of the line affiliate and cascading system. If I can't answer your questions, I'll be sure to pass them on to Lange.

I agree.

another cool feature that would be nice if you all are still going to use the epochstats domain for the tracking

let us choose from other domains...or even let us register domains on our own for you all to use...so instead of it going through epochstats.com, we can register porndomain.com (example), switch it your servers and let you all track our stuff through that domain

did that make any sense?

for some reason that epochstats.com domain bugs me

Some good feed back here.. I hope they listen because that is the down side of this "re epochstats.com"

I'll second that !

Would be so sweet if they could just make it paysite.com/aff-id :thumbsup

Jace, that's not going to happen and really makes no sense at all.

What needs to be done is something similar like I did with http://www.beachmodel.com/webmasters/

The standard CCBill link code structure has the same drawbacks as this new epochstats.

So I simply made my own admin that outputs the link codes how I want them. (i want the paysite domain in them)

So with the admin part handled I then have to make a php redirect for each link code I generate.

If you look on this page you see I have several tour links.

Let's look at this tour link: http://www.beachmodel.com/models.php?ccbill=1352409

See how I am linking to models.php? models.php is just a redirect that points to: http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=932167-0000&PA=$ccbill&HTML=http://www.beachmodel.com/models/free_preview.php

Below is the file:

<?php
extract($_GET);
header("Location: http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=932167-0000&PA=$ccbill&HTML=http://www.beachmodel.com/models/free_preview.php");
?>

So something like this can be done with Epochstats system as well. I'd just prefer it to happen seamlessly and make it nice and user friendly. Epoch/MPA3 should be able generate these php redirects and add them to the server as well as add the new link code to the affiliates admin area in a scripted automated fashion based on when I add a new tour or site into my Sponsor Admin.

This would be cool and easily doable.

Anyone know how to find a list of programs that use this new setup so I can find some to signup with?

:thumbsup

At the risk of bumping an old thread I'm interested in this aswell.

I got three so far:

http://www.kanecash.com
http://www.alotofloot.com/
http://www.sandeecash.com/

Any more?

We (Kane Army) switched to epochstats recently but both old and new codes will work. With the old linking codes I made links to different landing pages etc which I don't think you can do on the new epochstats. The changeover was very easy, the FHG system was very similar to what I had anyway which was nice. The stats seem much better and I like the fact that affiliates can add progs to their account in a similar way to CCBill now.

This is pretty interesting, so I shall bump the thread to see if others have input as well.

Can you send newsletters to affiliates through the system?

Yes in text or HTML

You can also have it add their first & last name, affiliate ID, email, etc to each individual email. So if you send out FHG's links, it will put their code in there for you, no more YOUR_ID_HERE.

To those interested in finding sponsors that use this setup, I contacted Epoch and was told such a list was not available. Anyways, while by no means complete, you can thank JB over at StatsRemote for the following list that may help ...

Excellent list, thanks man.

I am using it. See my signature.
