How to Track Stats across network of sites

[sharky]

Hey guys.

I've got a question about business process. I know Oprano is filled with big hitters, who no doubt have many different ways to run their business. I am looking to share information on ways to track traffic and conversions, on a per site basis.

Example:

Say I have 20 free sites (TGP's AVS, MGP, link list, whatever). Then I have Hundreds of accounts with different affiliate programs, each having links allover my network of sites. How do you track income per site? Even further, what do you do to track income per ad/link location on your site, when there are multiple locations per site?

I know some sponsors allow you to set up different tracking codes, while others don't. Furthermore, I use StatsRemote regularly. It tracks just about every program we are using and gives me a good global income #. However it doesn't do everything.

I am trying to prevent having to create a separate affiliate account for each site we have. I'm wanting to come up with better organization for the stats we do have allowing me to track income down to each and every location on our sites.

Perhaps a sponsor converts better on one site than another, and I have no way to really track as I only see 1 conversion and hits #

Can it be done?

Discuss.
