This is a thread to bitch. I'll start:

I hate that:

* I have no way to see yesterday's spend on POF
* Prosper still doesn't have Geo Parting
* Linktrust uses stupid ass ID numbers that I can't remember and so I have to look them up when logging in
* Offers hit caps and go down and I sometimes get less than 12 hours warning when I know somebody at the network has a better idea when the cap is gonna hit
* Networks who spam me to join their networks while having no AORs and bullshit payouts. Oh you have 1800 of the same offers everyone else does? I really give a fuck, lets be Facebook buddies!!!
* Networks who think that Canada, Australia, and UK counts as having tons of international
* Being told by traffic sources that I can't run something because they already have a direct relationship with the offer, especially when I know its going to kill


(this feels really good btw)
 


* Dealing with useless 9-to-5ers at traffic sources, networks, etc...
* When networks fuck up payments!
* Tracking server going down
* Quality Score
 
* slow ass approving service (FB, PPV, PPC)
* Tracking server goes down
* MYADS.COM ( FUCKING BLOWS)
* Offer gets capped too soon, after all my researches + bullshit.
* and more shit!

Wasnt there a tool already released for prosper that analyzes your data for geotargeting.? I imagine there would've been. I'm working on developing this now. It will run the maxmind database in the backend but im unsure whether the interface should run on prosper or just be a .com. Anyone else working on this type of project, lemme know.

definitely make the interface part of propser so it can do the same filtering, something similar to the IP tab would be perfect with state / region grouping.

I took a stab at doing this last summer and stopped when I was told it was going to be added to prosper, but it hasn't made it into the product yet and its been going on a year here.

yea thats cool for redirects but really want I want to do is run all my data through location grouping so I can where I might want to test reviving old campaigns.

I'm jealous of advertisers, they have all that sales data to make decisions from. This is why all affiliates should be building lists and / or their own offers.
