How weird.. i was just thinking about this stuff yesterday.

Stats remote seems good but 30 bucks a month seems silly for software.. i would much prefer to spend a few hundred bucks upfront and not continue to get billed forever. Revstats.. same thoughts as ya'll.. dont wanna give my passwords to anybody else.

As a sponsor, when stats remote approached us for quickbuck they wanted to include us in their program but they told me that ever webmaster using it would be getting stats updated every 15 minutes.. that seems a bit excessive.. i dont check stats every 15 minutes and dont particularly want all the quickbuck webmasters hitting our system every 15 minutes either...

Additonally... the other main problem with these programs is that you're comparing apples and oranges.. i mean, some programs count less than half the clicks of other programs... so when looking at cpc, numbers get skewed in stats remote because they are sponsor counts.

Which brings me to what i was thinking about yesterday.

I have a good programmer who still owes me a lot of time and work so i've been considering having something like this written..

what do ya'll think about the possibility of a program much like stats remote, however it updates every 3-6 hours... and in addition to the sponsor's click counts, for a nominal monthly fee you get a "bounce" url.. or "redirect" page that counts raw clicks out to each individual sponsor so that you get a truly non-biased cpc at the end of the day?

Fuck.. now that i've typed it it looks like a lot of work... so i doubt i'll do it.. but somebody else should feel free to take these ideas and run with them ;-)
