Is there a viable alternative to Tracking202

snapper · 05-21-2009, 02:49 AM

I looked at tracking202 and it was going to cost me some serious coin (400 - 500 per month). Love the tool but I cannot justify that sort of money at this stage. Is there a viable alternative that you can recommend?

I am looking at Affiliate Prophet myself. I really wanted to use tracking202 Pro, decided against it with all the problems they are having.

Prosper 202, installed on your own domain = Self hosted Tracking202.

I'm impressed so far.. I just love PPC :-)

I have Affiliate Prophet but it is 'clunky'. It is hard to get your head around most of the instructions.

I am nervous about some of the features in Affiliate Prophet, especially the Aff-Spy part of it where you direct link to a merchants page via your own website. I think it is ripe for a 'slap'. Perhaps a member of Affiliate Prophet could explain if you are likely to get slapped using the aff-spy feature.

Also you have to manually download your conversion information and if you are not downloading Clickbank details then it can be a bit tedious.

I know lots of people have had a go at building tracking tools but this would seem like a great niche for someone that gets the right product!

Thanks Intrepreneur,

I have downloaded Prosper202 and will give it a try.

There is hippojaw, its used for both tracking and ppc campaign building like speed ppc...

Its recommended by the guys at commission blueprint and you do get free use of it when you sign up to their monthly membership.

I think it's about $77 to buy on its own.

Cheers,
Danny.

Besides hippojaw, affiliate prophet and prosper202 there is adtrackz.

Adtrackz looks pretty cool. Only played with it a little but that's an alternative. I want to get into it more and I am also newly interested in prosper202.

Well, I find I'm now in a similar place... looking at Tracking202 and thinking it seems like a lot of "wiring" and manual import effort just to get some reporting.

I like what I see on the Affiliate Prophet website, except it's so over-the-top selling me it makes me wonder how real it actually is (nothing is that great in my experience).

Is anyone here happy with Affiliate Prophet for use with ClickBank?
