Here is a screen shot inside one of my accounts at Paid On Results to show you, if you not yet seen or been using all the features the Valid Sales List has got. For this screen shot I have used Natural Instinct only from one of my sites accounts, so no affiliate need fear I
am not using your data
Points to note in this screen shot:
Where you see a - for the cookie set date, it means it has no set date, this is most common on Customer Base sales.. as you can see from this small part of the screen shot Natural Instinct makes a great merchant for customer base sales, 6 of them in this part of the screen shot alone. That's 6 sales the merchant would have got for free if it wasn't for the fact Jon at NI is really keen to see affiliates rewarded for there hard work and so takes full advantage of the Paid On Results Customer Base feature.
Other things to note is that the majority of sales actually happen inside 48 hours, this is a trend I
am seeing across most merchants however do note that one of the sales visible in this screen shot had the cookie set back in September 2003 some 4 months ago.
Also as you can see you have the choice of how you wish to view your valid sales, tick the boxes and update the display and it will stay the same each time you visit, so you can see as little or as much as you like for each sale. HTTP Referer is a very popular option to view as you can see what page on your site made the sale.
You can also click on any of the columns and sort all the sales via more or least, newest or oldest. When you click this option this sticks for all pages and remembers you favourite view each time you come back to view your stats.
As ever if you think something is missing or can be improved just let us know and we will add it.
