Which affiliate stats software?

affiliate program

[naradas]

Hello,

I need a good software for my report collection from the affiliate networks. I don`t want to login the networks manually and fetch the reports. I want a automated solution for this.

Also, I want to have my revenue reports in csv format, so that i can examine them in excel easily.

AffTrack used to be great for this purpose, but at some point, LinkShare began blocking AffTracks ability to pull down reports.

As I understand it, that would be the case for any other similar product.

Without LinkShare, I think such a tool would be somewhat fruitless IMHO.

There is a great secutiry threat when you put your affiliate id's to 3RD Party products!

Do you have a first hand example?

No need to tell me what people can do with the information - just wondering if you know of a situation where information has been abused?

in early 2004 as i remember i was using a 3rd pary product to featch inforamtion from some of my affiliates.
i found that my payment address has change in one of my affiliate. the affiliate support sad that i have changed the payment address. but i didnot. finally i had to suspect the 3rd pary product i used to get reports.

i could not remember the product.

But this type of case is very rare i heard. do you?

I never heard of such a case - I've been using AffTrack since it launched in 2000 or so.
