My CJ stats are currently 5 days behind. CJ should really do something about their stats lag... it's a real pain when you're trying to tweak a site for a burst of traffic that might only last a week.
i haven't been with cj for long but i have noticed the same thing i find it very frustrating not to know how i did on a current day, because i cant pinpoint what i am doing right or wrong. maybe i have been spoiled by azoogles stats system
It's probably not CJ, it's probably the merchant that's taking their time to report transactions. I know for a fact that BMG Music reports a few days after the sale, and a lot of merchants who use batch transfers can be delayed by a day or so. For merchants who don't use batch transfers, commissions usually show up between 2-3 hours later (look at the average difference between event date & posting date).
I agree totally. Whats the point of stats when there not updated real time? Totally unprofessional and makes life harder for affiliates.
I am using adwords and I cant teak my campaign for five days until I know if it was sucessful or not. Is it that hard to do real time processing?
Anyone know if the clicks post before commissions? Since the clicks are processed by CJ and the commission by the advertising company you would think that the clicks would post and then the commissions. Anyone know if that's how it works?
yes - their stats are very far behind reality - I find an average of a 3 day lag so that makes it hard to see immedeate results for your efforts.
I got signed up today, but have not had any clicks added to my account even though i know there have been. How long for clicks to register on the stats?
commissions isn't real time because the merchants have to verify etc. But it usually takes only 1 day before its posted.
Well, i now have some click stats from yesterday, although i know i clicked on 3 different adds twice each. The stats say there was only 2 clicks?!??! Late
