Clicks question/suggestion

[AcidRaZor]

With the commission end-point it's pretty straight forward tracking a commission, when the click/sale happened, where it came from etc.

Would it be at all possible to expose the clicks that went through that doesn't end in a commission?

This would help tremendously in tracking where clicks came from (when you have a sudden spike in clicks, like with the last Panda update) to track what you are doing right (or wrong) in terms of promotion.

I realize that we could have a "middleman" script in place to track clicks going through to Prosperent and log them on our side, but I figured since Prosperent is so awesome to begin with in terms of the data you guys provide, this will just push the envelope a little more since you already (speaking under correction) have that data.

The only issue I have with this is the volume of click data we have. We would already need a second cluster of 20 or so machines just to handle the click data if we wanted it to be fast. Not to say it isn't something we will do at some point, but it will be down the line when infrastructure updates like that are a drop in the bucket revenue wise . We have the data though, so it definitely isn't out of the question.

Good to know. I envy the guys at the top of promotion and their click volume though. 100 odd clicks a day (maxing out at 190) on 2 sites thus far isn't too bad for me. But this only happened in the last 2 weeks with sites running for > 12 months on Prosperent now. One even reaching the 1 million mark in terms of indexing recently (doubling almost). Wondering what impact Panda had on my sites ranking. Certainly seeing a bit of a boost. Reviews on products and my own commission system is incoming

It seems like the most recent panda updates (last few days) may have had a positive impact on some of the sites I monitor that are api based. Time will tell. We actually used to keep data on an impression level, but that was just insane. A million or so api requests an hour adds up. It's bad enough storing all of the trend data for a few thousand clicks an hour, but far more manageable.

Yea, I'm not too bothered with impression data, only clicks that go through. Thanks for the feedback
