Is there a service/script out there that any of you guys know of that allows you to download/view your reports from all affiliate networks and programs to one central location... instead of having to go to each network to get your daily stats? We've created this same system in our backend for our personal use, but feel that this could be a very useful service to regular publishers/affiliate marketers.

If there isn't such a service out there, would any of you be interested in something like it? How much would you pay for the hosted solution and how much would you pay for the script?

If you could just imagine, logging into a system (either hosted or standalone) and seeing your daily, weekly, and monthly income from all your joined networks. You could also be able to add filters, download reports from the service via csv, mysql, xml, and rss. Even the ability to add postback and API services.

Any thoughts? Or, are there similar services out there?
 


Ok, cool... thanks. However, already I can see improvements needed on their service. And, it's a windows application? What options to non-windows users have? A web based application would seem more efficient, not to mention they are rather expensive. Any ideas?
 
I asked about this recently. I ended up using stats remote even though it's buggy as hell and I don't really like the way it works.
 
A non windows based option if you have an iPhone is called Affiliate Stats. It cost 9.99 and I made it. As far as web based options there is prosper202, which I use along with some php scripts that update your subids from networks.
 
There is also one called Stats Junky but they are a complete joke. I tried them a while ago and they didn't even support the networks they listed on their site and then they claim to "quote: add it right away" yet I gave them months and at least 6 or 7 email in an effort to add just one network and it was never done. They don't answer emails, live chat on their site always says "away, leave a message" and their phone goes to voicemail no matter when you call. A huge waste of time so just a heads up for anyone else who finds them and was thinking about using them. For a company that charges you monthly that's horrible support. I might try Stats Remote soon.
 
So, would a web based alternative with better features and better support sound like a good idea? Would people use it? If so, I'm on it.
 
Not if it's not self-hosted. That's what prosper202 pro is trying to do and I don't think too many people are going to use it because they are not comfortable with allowing their affiliate passwords on other people's servers.

Yeah, I agree with that. But, what about a packaged script solution? Something you can purchase and install on your server?

Sorry about hijacking this thread - but AndyT, why not add most of the "popular" DT networks like Copeac, C2M etc - shouldnt be that hard since you have a few in there already right?
 
peerfly, Yeah that might be popular - to be honest I really like prosper202's web version and it's free. but I might check out another self-hosted app.

acemenace, Yep, c2m is in my development copy and I use them and like them.

With copeac you have to ask to have web services turned on, which I did, and once I figure out why I keep getting this error code:
Code: 
<SOAP-ENV:Fault><faultcode xsi:type="xsd:string">Invalid Login</faultcode><faultactor xsi:type="xsd:string">
I will update my app with these 2 networks and 1 other one! thanks for the suggestion.

I haven't downloaded the prosper202 script yet, does the report downloading/synching work with all known networks out there?

Works with all the majors. The lesser known ones I am aware of that it does not work with yet are Express Revenue, Elite Commission, Addrive and Global Direct Media (UK). Every other network I've ever seen mentioned on here is fine.

What they really need in there is facebook. They already have adwords, yahoo and all the second tiers. Nice to see multiple adwords accounts in there next against the networks etc
