Hey guys, I have an internal tool we've been using that lets us see all of our CPA networks in one place, so we can break it down by day, week, month, custom range, lifetime how much revenue we generated on each network.
It works with hasoffers/cake platforms, and it basically lets you see quickly the total revenues generated per network for specific time period, as well as who still owes you money with unpaid balances.
I had this done so I don't have to login to dozens of networks everyday to manually pull numbers.
Would anyone be interested in using this tool?
So like a statsremote clone for the mainstream networks - I remember how much easier it made my life in adult where we used to push 200 affiliate networks at once
Could be worth a shot I guess, especially for guys running with multiple networks. Are you planning to release this as a paid tool?
I'm not currently doing enough profit to budget for another tool but when the time is right, this is something that interests me and would be useful.
The interface is the same and there wasn't any update to the utility design/functionality for years, but it still does the job. Since it was heavily tied to adult affiliates, it's probably loosing users all the time so I guess it's a dying operation.
I was thinking of developing my own, but if you've already got one...
yea like a statsremote
hasoffers/cake and other platform often have api.
I think you can collect statistics using Excel/googledocs if you add a special scripts for online parsing stats from networks.
example adsimillis (cake) and googledocs
1. Open API link, save affiliate_id and api_key

2. Chose report. For example Bills
API URL: http://#domain_here#/affiliates/api/...ts.asmx/Bills?
http://myadsimilis.com/affiliates/ap...=1&row_limit=0
3. Create new spreadsheet in google docs.
And insert func for parse xml

4. You can select only the required data using Xpath rules.
Can sum, exclude and other operations.
5. Repeat with other networks and write a script that will update the data.
Done 
This way you can in two clicks collect any statistics from all networks and watching them in a single table. You can even draw graphics and parse networks who do not have api ))
Statsremote was a great tool both to manage your revenue and payments per network. I used to work with over 100 different affiliate programs in adult so it was a pain to manage with it that tool, happily paid for it for years and I bet it was a good business for the owners with thousands of adult affiliates paying every month.
It's an easy tool to develop and always wondered why nobody released a similar one for non adult. It is even easier now as most of platforms have an API or xml export to get the data. Statsremote was based on HTML scrapping so any change in any platform meant that the stats won't load for that network and required constant updates.
A big key for a tool like that is that the data is stored locally or in your own cloud and never uploaded to the developer databases so nobody could use that info the wrong way. I remember some test were done in Statsremote to prove that the developers were not getting the data and of course they didn't.
Would love to see it in action - certainly something people would use.
Someone need to reinvent the homescreen so you can load it up and have everything in one place via third party apis.
