NATS releases first Account Admin beta!
 

We are proud to release the first beta version of our new stats application Account Admin.

You can download the beta here: http://www.accountadmin.com

You will need the MS .NET framework as explained on the site.

This is a beta release and there may be some issues with it. If you find any, PLEASE let us know. We will be releasing a final version as soon as we get all the issues anyone reports to us on this beta worked out.

As of now you can check stats on the programs you see in the "Join Programs" section. We are adding new programs to this section all the time. We just need to update their installs. You will not need to redownload the application as we add more programs. You will simply see them pop up in the Join Programs section. At which point you can join them and/or check stats at them.

Please let us know what you think and give us all the feedback and testing you can!

Thanks!

thanks, everything is working great so far :thumbsup

kickass
downloading it now

So this is kinda like stats remote right? But for NATS sites?

That would be cool...Nice to see a FREE app for it...

Jon

It's that but more. As of now you can check stats AND join new affiliate programs with it.

In the future you will be able to do much more. We have a lot of cool stuff on the way in 2005.

And yes, it's 100% free. Statsremote has to parse all the affiliate pages in order to collect the stats, therefore they need to have people on staff to update the parsing every time a program changes it's html. It's quite a task. NATS has been made to make this easy so we have no real "costs" associated with maintaining it. It adds value to our NATS product by driving new webmasters to NATS programs and gives the webmasters a little something extra too.

Whoa, great!
I'm downloading it

Great looking application. :) Can't wait until we are added to the list.

Looks awesome :thumbsup

Thanks guys.

If you are a NATS program who would like to be added to the application please email me, [email protected]

Thanks!

Looks good and I like the logo thats how I want to be! :thumbsup

Thanks. I had sent an email earlier today, I guess now I know why you asked me. :)

email sent for Standahead.com :winkwink:

installed it and seems to work fine, good job John

Is that the same thing I've been using the past couple weeks?

Suggestion... I'd love to see affiliate joins by the day... they get put in there alphabetically which is nice till theres hundreds then it's a bit harder to manage... Not that I'm bitching though cuz it's been a great tool!

Can you add me to your icq?

Whoops no this isn't what I was thinking... Great stuff! This will help with managing exits and such. Nice job guys!

LOL, yeah, this one is for the affiliate end of things. We will be adding some admin features to the next version tho. If you still need anything feel free to hit me up on icq, 5596373.

Looking very cool, where are those screenshots again? :helpme

Here ya go:

Looks great John, can't wait to get up and running!!!

Excelllent Job babe.

Bump for NATS :)

Thanks again for the Players Ball Hookups John! :glugglug

Nice Work

awesome, ima need to take a closer look once i get caught up from Vegas

well done you guys and great putting faces with the names at the show!

I have a few questions, I hope you can clarify things:

1) Can NATS-enabled program owners check their overall stats for their program?

2) I think there is a misconception that this is a tool affiliate programs offer their affiliates as a simplified way of checking their stats. If that's so, why would I offer a tool that allows a simplified way to join my competitor's programs? There's even advertising for my competitors' programs within the software!

With that in mind, I would like to see a hardcoded version that we can brand with our program's creatives and take out that "Join Programs" button. Throw in some admin functions as suggested above and this would be a great tool.

I see this as more of a software that TMM need to push on their own, thereby driving affiliate traffic accross the sponsors that advertise within the software. Similar to Stats Remote, but as you mentioned, much more than that. Just my :2 cents:, I think NATS program owners are confused as to what exactly this software can do for them.

We will be adding the admin features in later on.

The program will bring you far more webmasters than it may cost you. If your program is solid and puts up good #s there is no reason for someone to leave you. This is just offering you more exposure. You don't need to force/tell your affiliates to use it. It's like saying "why would I post on GFY when there are other affilaite programs there". There is plenty of room in the affiliate program industry. This is helping all NATS programs gain a bit more of an edge by making it easy for the affiliates to join/use their programs. If you would like to opt out of the AA program you of course can.

The branded version is an interesting idea. I will have to talk it over with Charlie and Fabian.

Very nice addition! I know we'll be putting it into play at Duke Dollars!

marvelous!!

Just 3? :)

John looks great!

Awesome will download now

very nice! :thumbsup

looks nice dude
was nice meeting you in vegas as well :)

Will you release the interface for accessing the stats?

It'd be very useful and it'd be a huge advantage for NATS sponsors if their stats could be integrated directly into our own advertisement backends.

Quite possibly. It's an interesting idea a few people have asked about. One person mentioned doing stuff with TGPs with it also. We will be talking about this and hopefully there is no reason we can't release it broadly.

Personally, I intend to join & promote many of the programs listed in this software. As an affiliate, Nats is very fast and convenient for me to use. Having your program listed will make it easier for me (and many others) to find out about it.

:2 cents:

I think he was worried more about the unfairness of Program A having 5,000 affiliates and having spent $50,000 on promotion of their program, while Program B having 10 affiliates having spent $0 on promotion of their program, can now be exposed to advertisements to webmasters that they spent $50k getting, and not receiving any funds from advertising ?

Matt

Webmasters are people, not possesions :) They are exposed to advertising everywhere they go, here included. NATS programs do not have to push AA to their affiliates if they don't want to and they don't have to take part in the software if they don't wish to. Webmasters are going to see advertising everywhere. I don't really see how any program owner can look on this as a bad thing.

Matt,

I just reread what I repleid to you and I hope it didn't come off wrong. I understand your point. I just really feel program owners will benefit far more from it than any loss they may have. Usually affiliates don't pull down links unless a program is performing poorly. And the program owners can of course always opt out of the program.

John

Sent you an email to get PornStarDollars.com in there. Looks pretty badass.

Nice looking program you got there..
