I just found this helpful little Firefox extension that displays your CJ balance in the status bar: http://www.affiliateblog.co.uk/commission-junction-cj-firefox-extension.html
Best way to be sure of that is to let me know your concerns and I'll answer them I can 100% assure that I am in no way interested in your account information and it's simply an extension for your benefit. If you want to check you can install the LiveHTTPheaders extension and keep an eye on what is communicated there. The only call back to my site will be a check every so often to see if there is a new version of the extension available which all extensions do. I have been in affiliate marketing full time for over 5 years so I can be trusted. Let me know if you have any specific questions or want to know more. If you are using the extension let me know any feedback or requests so that we can improve future versions. Thanks Fraser Edwards
My understanding is that it should be close to real time, maybe a few hours behind at times but it's definitely not daily.
It's updated hourly, that stat will be from 1-2 hours behind. Also, to get your hourly stats, you need to go all the way into your transaction reports for the day. All others take even longer to update. Here's the reason for the 1-2 hours: 8:01 someone orders something 9:00 This report goes to CJ 10:00 CJ posts the report. So a sale at 8:59 would typically post at 10 as well. If you're a stats whore like me, it's best to check your transaction reports about 10 minutes after the hour, as sometimes the update happens a few minutes late. HTH! Travis
