I'd like to ask fellow webmasters on what is the best banner tracking software around? It should preferably have the functionality mentioned below; of course this is an idealistic view but I'd appreciate your thoughts on the best software on the market (which is affordable) Of course an open-source solution is also fine..

Tracking software must be able to:
- Tracker must be able to accept start and end dates
- Sub Campaigns – not have to create an ad tracking campaign each time.
- Check for invalid links - also needs to have to support a default URL facility so that we can specify where we want the visitor to be transferred.
- Redirect Files enabling us to shorten or even hide URLs.
- Basic Reports

= Hits to date
= Hits for the hour
= Hits for the day
= Hits for the week
= Hits for the year

- Extra Reporting Features

= showing the campaigns which generate the most visitors and, in the case where action tracking is available, the most sales, subscribers, downloads, etc.
= An automatic mail out of reports on a periodic basis such as daily or weekly
= Reports produced in graphical output
= Option to export the report statistics e.g. to a spreadsheet file

- Sub Users involves providing tracking to others

- Split run testing which will allow us to test the most effective sales page to use out of multiple pages. It will alternate the pages that our visitors see so that we can establish which are achieving the best response.

I'm still searching for a suitable tracking software and would appreciate any assistance. I prefer a package where you only pay one fee upfront with no monthly fees but monthly billing plans will also be considered.

Till now i've found out that
adcycle.com is outdated - the developer there doesn't seem to have much faith in his own creation!

[advertpro.com...]
Advertpro seems expensive at $625.00 USD with $75 yearly upgrades.

best software package i seem to have found so far is hypertracker.com but this is a monthly billing plan of $15... Also I'm afraid that hard selling techniques like the sales letter on www.hypertracker.com (I'm not sure if Coryl wrote this one) don't work on me...
