Petition to Greenguy and others who publish their stats.

[Greenguy]

The logistics behind running proper stats for revshare programs is the main problem. While taking the top 5 or 10 is a good idea in theory, I'm signed up to so many that I'd have to run stats for all of them to find the top 10 or whatever, so if I did publish revshare stats, I'd almost have to do it for all of them.

I could just throw up ratios, but then I'd have to sort them by those that have cheap trials ($2.95/3 days) and those that just have straight monthly joins.

But I don't think just posting ratios is worth it - if it was, I wouldn't bother posting the per click totals that I do in the PPS stats.

So now you have to look at trying to figure out per click totals for the revshare programs and this is where the big problems start. Let's take Chop's program as an example (since he started this thread - LOL)

Let's say in January I sent 5000 hits & got 10 signups @ $29.95 - my cut is 50% or $149.75 or $0.03/click - that in & of itself looks horrible.

Let's assume that February was the same (5000 hits & 10 signups) and that 50% of the signups from January recurred - that'd be $224.63 - but how do I figure out the per click totals? To properly do it, I'd have to take the combined stats from Jan & Feb - 10000 clicks & $374.38 revenue to me for a total of $0.04/click.

Now, let's remember that Chop's program opened in April 2004 - in order to properly determine my stats & assuming I was going to publish them today, I'd have to compile 11 months worth of data & it's not that time consuming - maybe 30 minutes.

But let's multiply that total by the number of revshare programs that I belong to - I'd guess it's 200 - so 100 hours or 2 weeks of me doing nothing but compiling revshare stats.

I don't have 2 weeks of free time

This is why I don't publish revshare stats.
