Do a google search for revenuemonitor (one word)..
I am a beta tester for this tracking script and it works very good for both Adsense and YPN.

If you sign up at their forum you might be able to get in on the beta testing :)

In response to a similar thread, I signed up for add free stats yesterday. No script to install on the server - just a little code snippet to be placed on your web page. It tracks where you visitor goes when they leave the site.

I have to say I'm impressed. A lot of the reports are stuff you can get from your web logs anyway, but nicely presented. The really neat bit is the ability to know on one line of info:-

a, where the visitor is from
b, how your visitor got here (referring url /search)
c, how many pages they viewed,
d, how they left - specifically if it was by clicking an ad, and the landing page they went to.

As far as I can see, there is nothing in the TOS about using exit trackers, but have emailed them for confirmation that it's allowed. Assuming that trackers like this aren't against the Google TOS, then I can't think why they don't incorporate the same type of facilities. I'd be happy to pay them for the facility.

It's a potential privacy issue. The press is all over Google, and people would be lining up to pretend to be outraged if it were discovered that Google was sharing personal behavioural data with publishers, especially if they provided the level of detail that a click tracker can provide.

ASA is aware of the principle of click tracking and has stated that it's fine as long as the appearance and behaviour of the ads are unaffected. IMO Google essentially looking the other way is the best we can hope for.

david_uk,

Which site did you sign up? Like Aircut said, I couldn't find sign up page but only one index page(and all other links are not active) at the site I got from search "revenuemonitor."

[david_uk]

I signed up with adfreestats - not the program at the top of the thread. I got the same as you did there.

Try the adsense guide link on the revenuemonitor site.

Look for the revenuemonitor area in the adsense guide forums..

[Aircut]

sorry Webtechi, what a total waste of time trying to find any working link among all the adsense ads that decorate your site. sorry you asked for it.

This looks like a scam to me. No links, menu links don't even work. This clearly seems like the owner is advertising something that is still in the works. Forget it.

It just occurred to me that people who waste everybody's time in order to get $3 worth of clicks are the type of people for whom clickbombs were invented. Imagine that, coming into an AdSense forum and directing a few hundred AdSense savvy webmasters to your MFA site.

Unless he's really that site's competitor.

Drat. I hate complexity.

RevenueMonitor is still in beta testing. This is why the site is not operational.

The beta testing is being run from the adsenseguide.info forum.

I am taking part in the RevenueMonitor beta test and, once it comes out of beta, it is going to be an excellent aid to anyone who is serious about maximising their adsense / YPN revenue.
