Any network can scrub/shave you lifeless. It doesn't matter what software they use.

Go to the network with the best offers for you, then trust your bottom line.

Numbers never lie.

If they run linktrust, they can't shave you with the software, they have to be in collusion with the advertiser, and why would they be idiots and tell the advertiser, hey fire the pixel only 50% of the time. What makes you think then the advertiser wouldn't shave the network too?

Sorta like MPA2 and Nats, most affiliates wouldn't run MPA2 when it had the shave feature built in. No idea if your executive stats had a feature or not, as i never saw the admin side.

We know you know how to scrub clicks, you are old school and ran a ppc program that scrub'd quite well back in the day.
 
I have my nose in hitpath everyday, and it's been great to us. The support team is excellent and they are constantly adding new features (at least on the back end). As to the guy asking how much it is - it depends on the amount of traffic the network is doing - it's a per click model.
 
HasOffers.

Although they started slow and were lacking a bunch of features, they are doing a great job of adding new features.

Their level of entry is low however. I am sure if they made it more difficult to use their system as a network they would be more successful. It's tough to see good networks on HasOffers that lose potential publishers because of their tracking backend.
 
Having ran our network atop all that you have listed, several scripts that are floating around the web, home built solutions, etc. etc. etc. Hasoffers is simply the best. Forget the "stigma" that directtrack keeps trying to implant in everyone's head by posting on forums and what not. Hasoffers simply works, and it works well. The development team is on the verge of releasing their update API and then you can forget the other completely overprice name brands that you listed above.

Experience has shown, has offers is not only the best bang for the buck, but out and out the best bang...

Hitpath not getting any love here? If you have not used it, then you definitely need to. Its the best around.
 
+1 for hitpath -- as a developer, i've scraped nearly every network platform for data, and scraping hitpath for offers/stats is way easier than other networks. i just wish they had an API for offers, too, so i wasn't scraping html tables.

plus, when i worked at a4d, the hitpath team was always super responsive and helpful, they got lots of shit done so we could integrate our tools with them.
 
Without a doubt HasOffers is becoming top platform. As of 6 months ago it was direct track, however they've become a dinosaur as HasOffers has made a fucking boat load of changes. Keep up the great work HasOffers, but there is one major flaw in your system:

THE ONLY DRAWBACK TO HASOFFERS IS THAT THEY DON'T LET YOU LOOK UP ACCOUNTS BY IP ADDRESSES, WHICH IS WHY DIRECT TRACK AND HITPATH ARE STILL THE BETTER SOLUTION.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I LIKE TALKING IN ALL CAPS TOO EVEN THOUGH ITS VERY ANNOYING.
 
HasOffers is second to none. We addressed an issue with them earlier today and they jumped right on it, placing our ticket at top priority. I've met with both Peter and Patrick at the AdTech conference. They have taken care of our campaigns when we had just 2 offers. Without their help there's no way HealthConverter.com could have become the largest health and beauty affiliate network on the net. We streamline offers from every major network now seamlessly and have a number of our own running. Thank you HasOffers.

I like your fake signature.
 
We use a custom system and I would never settle for anything less. The freedom it gives us is great.

As a user I prefer Linktrust over DirectTrack or HitPath.
I have a bit of a hatred for Directtrack actually.



The only thing HasOffers has opened up is a can of "fraud ass". Their barrier of entry is way too low. Low to the point that *anyone* can open up a network, even the chinese scammers who screw over rebill merchants. (this I've seen personally).

Sure I'm biased, but networks should NOT be cheap and easy to open. Beyond the fact that running a network is complicated, you are fucking around with OTHER people's money. You should have successful affiliate marketing experience and a willingness to risk a significant amount of your own money trying to open a network. If you aren't willing to risk that cash, you should not be running a network.

I, myself, was highly impressed with the simplicity of your site. The cliche stock photo close-up of two hands shaking on your front page gave me an odd sense that can only be described as nostalgic comfort. One one hand, I was transported back to my first high school powerpoint presentation homework's clip art grace....on the other hand I felt oddly confident that you're the type of guy that means business...serious business. Yours is a site that might enable a person like me to make big head honcho style business deals at a real board room table..with people wearing suites and french cuffs. Not P-Diddy flashy-poppin'-corks money; but honest to goodness white-collar-screw-your-neighbors-out-of-their-savings chedder. Keep up the good work, my man. You might just revolutionalize this entire industry.
