Hi there! Just curious if you guys use any software to track hits, sales, .. simply progress at multiple affiliate programs. I'm using Nifty Stats to do so and it's pretty good. But let me know if there are any other out there.
Statcounter works well and is free. Google analytics is free also and gives good stats. Most affilliate networks have tracking also.
Hm you didn't understood me. This isn't for tracking traffic to your sites, it's tracking statistics to the affiliate programs you promote. So let's say you promote google adsense, clickbank, cj and a lot more. And you didn't want to waste your time logging in to each other. Now you download this software, enter all your login data to it, and it downloads the stats. So you just run this software every time and it downloads the stats for you. You can also track your campaign progress etc, it shows graphs, you can export so you get a nice overview of your campaigns!
Ok, I took a look at your nifty stats. When I was running over 900 affilliate campaigns that would have been nice. But the goog killed me off with all the others so I don't have that many now. I just used excel and the free ones. I have heard of some good ones available but can't remember the names. I'll take a look. I like free stuff. I give stuff away and make money. Most of the free versions do well enough for me. But I understand what you are looking for.
I mean the free analytics that come with the networks like clickbank, cj, shareasale, etc. They don't really show a lot, and you had to log into each one separately so yeah I guess it was a hassle. Maybe we need to write our own program to do this stuff....
Why would you write your own program if Nifty Stats does exactly that and it's for free? And it actually does a lot more - you can compare multiple affiliate programs/campaigns etc.
