Best Way To Track CPM Campaigns - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

Is there no easy way to do this?

Since P202 can't make use of CPM bids, it almost seems pointless to use it to track in this situation. I have to import the subs over from the networks and even then, my ROI isn't correct because it's going off whatever I put for CPC to get my tracking link.

It almost seems like using an Excel sheet would take just as much time and yet be 100% accurate since I'm manually entering in the numbers myself.

What do the others here do to track CPM campaigns?

You can also count the actual CPC based on the ad network stats and then update it in tracking202. Not fully automated but doesn't take much time and you'll get accurate stats.
