CCBill Click Reporting Explained?
 

I haven't promoted too many CCBill programs in the past, but have started developing a few tube sites and would like to know if someone is willing to explain their Click Reporting area. I also have an email into support.

Each program seems to have different click reporting methods. Such as:
* raw clicks with Raw, timeframe: 1hour(s)
* Raw Clicks, Unique Clicks - IP/Browser or Cookie with Raw, Unique: IP/Browser or Cookie timeframe: 1 hour(s)
* Raw Clicks, Unique Clicks - Cookie with Raw, Unique: Cookie timeframe: 24 hour(s)

I'm sure there are many more variations. If you look under the "help" section in CCBill admin, it doesn't even have click reporting as an option to be explained.

Thank you.

I guess I should be a little clearer. I obviously understand what raw clicks, unique clicks, and cookies are. What I'm not quite sure of is how what I've listed above relates to the program.

For instance, FTV Cash has their click reporting set at:
- Raw clicks - Raw, timeframe: 1hour(s)

Does this mean that they only track raw clicks and not unique clicks, with a cookie time of 1 hour?

The programs with click reporting set at:
- Raw Clicks, Unique Clicks - Cookie with Raw, Unique: Cookie timeframe: 24 hour(s)

Does this mean they track raw and unique clicks, with a cookie time of 24 hours?

That's easy.

ASS.

I'm also curious about this as well. bummmp

I wouldn't even worry about it, I mean accurate and real time stats are so 90's as long as ccbill pays every week, pesky trivial things like form hits, raw clicks, form submissions, really are over rated and not very useful.

As long as your weekly payout looks on the surface to be somewhere in the neighborhood of what the algorythm says you should be making, just go with it, and not sweat the details.

remember more traffic = more clicks to join page.....more clicks to join page means more form submissions....more form submissions = plenty more sales....more sales = plenty more on your payout...

see you just focus on getting clicks to the form....let "them" worry about everything else stats included

Ok :upsidedow

No one? :Oh crap

+1 ......

It'll drive you insane if you start analysing the reports on cbill, they simply aren't accurate/good enough. Just the other day I was told that 'online check' payments when declined are not tracked properly so form hits to sales to declines don't add up correctly, why, who knows! that's one of many inconsistencies, just make sure your payments balance!

While I agree that I should be concerned with pumping traffic to sponsors and keeping my balance in check, what I'm most concerned about is each programs tracking methods. From what I posted above from my CCBill admin, it appears that FTVCash has a 1 hour cookie. Is that an accurate assumption on my part? Do they track via other methods, if so, which? Must I email every program owner to find out their individual methods, and are they telling the truth, if I get a response, even though the CCBill admin may state different? These are all the questions I would like answered. A detailed documentation on click reporting from CCBill would make this possible. I'm hoping that either via my email or this thread, such documentation is made available.

Bump for a CCBill reply, here or an actual response to my email.

Hello Failed,

We have tried to reach you via icq this morning, and have yet to hear back. In regards to the email you sent to support, can you please forward me the email you had sent so I can look into the matter?

My ICQ is no more. I will forward you the email. But, I saw another curious about this same topic, perhaps a post with some information would be a good idea. Thanks for responding, James!

I sent you an email a few days ago, but have yet to hear back. I included my GFY handle in the subject line.

This is the second email that's gone unanswered when trying to get these questions answered from CCBill. Can you just post exactly what the different statements in the click reporting area mean? Or provide a link to documentation that does?

Hello Failed,

Good to know, thank you! I will go check my mail. It was still a good laugh this morning to see that response though :1orglaugh At least I know I don't have any recurring subscriptions to worry about!
