    Hi.

    Why CJ has that old system???... They can't track impressions and clicks at real time????

    If i want to test my links and impressions and i visit my site myself, the CJ counter increases almost 24hours later.

    I'm new with CJ and i like to work with them, but i don't know why doesn't they have a good tracking system...

    Each advertiser signed up had to pay 2.5K$ or 3K$ just for registering, and almost everyday we can see some new advertisers and they can't have a real time tracking system???

    I don't know very much about this tracking system but i think CJ is one of the major affiliate programs and there are others that can track at real time?

    Why do you think this is heppening??

    Reinaldo.

    P.S.: Sorry for my english, it's not my natal language.

    reporting delay has nothing to do with the quality of the tracking system, they have a lot of bandwidth and they decided to delay the reporting for it and not to overload the servers

    I think they can track at real time, but the report server and tracking server only synchronise several time a day

    I think that too, but i don't know why they would want to show the reports few hours later.

    Thanks.
    Reinaldo.

    reports are pulled back 1-2 hours max, i.e for any performance made 1PM - 2PM it will be shown on 3PM.

    At least they should display the time of the report. To be fair, I have not seen any other company show the time.
