So I got into the Beta test this morning along with I think a few dozen other pub's -- and I gotta say, it's pretty sweet.
I know a lot of WF guys run traffic through Copeac, so if anyone wanted a quick rundown of some pro's and con's I've observed in the beta, they are:
PRO'S
- in-house tracking platform, no more DT... brand new design
- The Home screen is full of useful stuff, like stats, realtime newsfeed so your AM can blast off news and whatever
- Favorites function to add offers to a favorites bucket
- self pixel management
- far better subid management and jumplink generation (no navigating through 19 pages to pull a link), creatives are all organized nicely
- Sidebar that follows you through the website with the stuff like favorites, recently viewed offers
- offer epc's are now public, and epc's for the bottom 10%, mid 10% and top 10% are displayed, all bucketed by traffic type. so in other word's you can view the middle 10% cross-section of epc's for just display campaigns, or just search campaigns.
- Individual campaign info pages are nicely organized
- Stat reporting: my reports loaded instantly, no more 5 minute DT freezeouts while it loads
CON'S
- Design needs some work, quite a few design hiccups that need fixed
- Also Design-related: the interface seems pretty busy and crunched together... I hope they widen it up by 10-20%
Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I think it's a great move for a company I always thought was bottlenecked by DT. It's nice to see a network that invests in themselves, rather than just paying off their Hitpath or DT bill each month. Good job Krongel and Copeac.
