If you could build a stats program list the features that you would like to integrate - GoFuckYourself.com

Recently, i've heard quite a few mixed reviews of some current stats programs out there, so out of curiosity if you were capable of building one, what features would you include and integrate in it?

Individual tracking numbers for each signup, so I can see exactly who signed up when, from what campaign and for how logn he's been rebilling.

Also a feature of average revenue per signup. Neither Statsremote or NiftyStats do this today. If you're on revshare and you over time only do an average of $20 per signup, then you'd be much better off by switching all your links to PPS. So an average calculated as all income from revshares, divided by the number of signups would then give the average earnings per signup.

Notify program about change of address. heck, I would even pay $20-$50 for a secure service which would notify all programs about a new postal address, a new Epass account to pay out to or any other account change which don't happen too often but is a major pain to sit and repeat over and over.

Current month stats as a free version, with only stats by day and program. Any history, graphs or so would be in paid version.

Ability to export numbers to Microsoft Excel, preferrably without first having to save as CSV file.

A nice yearly overview per program, printable for easy accounting purposes. Ingoing amount when going into the year, total earned over the year, total paid out during the year, and outgoing balance.

Te ability to create a default user and password. Usually people use the same screen name and password on many sponsors. Why not let them prefill a default user somewhere in the program, and then when adding a program to their stats overview just let them check a box to "use default user" and then it's auto filled.

An option to only show programs in list which have earned me money. Others are auto-hidden by default. if they don't make me money, I don't particularly need to see them in any of the comparisons.

A feature to automatically find the minimum payout level currently active for that sponsor and that account. Plus possibly a way of changing it from inside the program.

All emails are sent from my stats server, so no need for the user to program in his own pop and smtp server. Emails work straight out of the box, no need for silly setups.

Scheduled backups, both of stats and of the "my sponsors" list with all usernames and passwords. Let the user choose whether they want to upload a backup to their own server or even send an encrypted version to be stored on my developer server.

Allow for the program to be run from users own server, so the program is installed and run on their machine, and builds a dynamic webpage, easily accessible everywhere.

Join up with some sponsors and give them the opportunity to give free licenses to their top affiliates.

I have loads of ideas, but those were just top of my mind.

-Linux and Mac support.

-No connections required for authentication prior to each use. Instead incorporate your authentication with each definition update. Sure a user might be able to use the program beyond the term they paid for but they will not be able to update so it will eventually be of little use to them. It's annoying always having to have an internet connection and I don't like the idea of not being able to start the program if your server goes down. Don't be greedy.

-Dynamic conversion watch. Allow us to configure the program so that it checks (customizable thresholds) for conversion abnormalities and will alert us. For example if a program is converting 1:5,000 this month when it converted 1:1,500 last month, this should be pointed out.

-Stronger trending. Use past data and patterns to determine likely future results. Statsremote does this in a basic way for the month but something more powerful would be great.
