    This is a simple poll to gauge importance of printing and or saving an excel document or PDF of your monthly statistics with a given program. Please feel free to elaborate below.

    Yes I do save stat information and take the time to mathematically analyze. This would be from the program stats. Then I have two separate stat databases these I consider my true stats. I compare my true stats with program stats calculate the margin of error. Based on this comparison it tells me lots of things.

    I think once a site gets bigger it would be a great idea to save the information but for the most part its not needed. However I do see some affiliate programs that only let you go back a couple months worth of stats so with those I would print something off regardless of how busy a site may be.

    For me it depends on the affiliate management software. I mostly work with IncomeAccess, which has the stats available whenever I want to analyze it.

    I do make spread sheets so I can compare different brands. I have always found the cross performance analysis very interesting. The only problem is that it's not always easy to find the same detailed variables for each program.

    I put everything in a spreadsheet to track performance and so I can easily go back and state what I earned what months if needed to prove payments etc....

    I do take screen shots of stats of some programs, but funny thing is the few times I should have and didn't are the times things have gone missing...

    If an affiliate program is not small affiliate friendly (especially small US Affiliate), then they are NOT Affiliate Friendly!

    I do use a spreadsheet, especially to have stats of sign ups and revenues.

    I've started keeping a spreadsheet with impressions/clicks/dl's/registrations for statistical purposes, but I'm thinking it probably would be useful to start taking screenshots as well, just in case
