Anyone tried out this PPC Analytics software yet? I would imagine that the positives would be knowing if the affiliates are scraping from you since everything they used to see is now seen by you. Interface looks clean too but I'm wondering if there are negatives using this vs Excel spreadsheet. Another thing...right now it's free. I'm just wondering what the catch is. I don't see any ads mentioned but there has to be something in it for them. Maybe charging you later when it gets out of Beta? http://tracking202.com/
im trying to use it, but havent quite got it tracking properly yet. But it seems like a pretty decent program. They are coming out with an advanced program in the next month or so I think, that will be pay. But I guess its supposed to do a lot more than it does now. I think whats free now will stay free though.
its the shit!! i use it for nearly all my stuff n love it someone told me that they make money by selling data back to affiliate networks of whats hot n whats not for affiliates
Interesting, they can always make money with the data there and the affiliate marketing become hotter and hotter even if they always remain free to end users.
We do not sell off any data nor do anything shady of that nature. We have been around for well over a year now and even offer an open source self-hosted solution in addition to our hosted solution, Tracking202. We have thousands of users and tremendous feedback. The easiest would be to Google our name, that's how confident I am of the software.

There are several others you can find on blogs, forums, etc... Including major affiliate marketing forum WickedFire, etc. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me directly. To answer your question, currently we are not monetizing these software. We do accept donations and we do monetize by selling advertising space. In the near future, we will be releasing a Pro version of our tracking software which will be on another level of tracking that will be a paid version. Kindly, Steven
