Programs with no live tracking

I'm a member of full tilt and a couple of other programs that have the affiliate program, but do not have live tracking the way most do. Instead, they send me weekly statistics by email, and then also a monthly mailer with the "official" statistics for the month.

Obviously, I'm a little less trusting of these programs than one that allows me to check stats in real time, but I have been paid by them so it's not so bad. I also think it's kind of dumb because it's obviously more labor intensive for them, and that is time & effort that could be put into engineering better competitions to promote.

But really, I'm just sort of curious about what others think about these programs. Do you promote any affiliate programs that do not have live tracking?

Hi JerryG,

None of my programs have the email method of providing stats and, in fact, I haven't heard of that method before.

....and I complain about Trident Share's stats :rockon:

Thanks for the correction Kidd, and to everyone else for adding your feedback. It's mostly something I was just curious about. I think the poll results thus far are about what I expected.

Personally, FT is the only site I deal with that uses this method, and I would not have taken the chance with them if I had not met them in person at the WSOP last Summer and felt generally impressed with their operation. But still, for a company that partners up with such big name professional players and sponsors so many tournament entries, you would think they would invest in better software.

It should also be said that I think they may have added web tracking since the last time I went to their site. I'm not sure, just what someone mentioned to me in email, but they definitely did not have it early on.
