Hi... I'm JB from StatsRemote.

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.

Well, usually when you buy software for a few hundred bucks you still need to pay for major upgrades. In our case you pay 30 bucks a month and get new updates weekly or bi-weekly.

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...

I offered you to setup Quickbuck in a way so that StatsRemote only checks your stats every hour... 2 hours... 4 hours... etc... we did the same for other programs that didn't want their webmasters hitting their system every 15 minutes.

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.

Well, you have this problem whether you use the software or not. The main reason why people use our software is that they save a lot of time. They have all their numbers right in front of them without having to login to all stats areas manually and can export everything into e.g. Excel to further analyze their traffic.
You still have to use common sense when analyzing your traffic. It always amazes me when people compare the ratios of two sponsors that count hits totally differently and base their decisions only on these ratios...
