New Tracking System
- Thread starter automatica
- Start date
The race is now on to see who can work ion cube into it and resell it first! Expect it to show up in some guru's product any day now.
automatica, could you PM me a dl link? I joined the mailing list after you had already mailed the beta copy.
Dude, the link still gets mailed to you after you join. I just joined today and got my link to the dl.
Appreciating all the positive feedback
Yea I released 0.8 Beta to the mailing list the other day. If you want a copy just sign up and you'll receive the link and download instructions. If you don't feel like signing up, just wait a few days and I'll post everything on the site: LambdaTracker - Coming Soon
One thing I forgot to mention in the original email:
You need to set a scheduled job (cron, scheduled task, whatever) to execute the following file periodically: http://www.yourtrackingtdomain.com/static/cron/crontab.php. That is the file that executes things like submitting ads intermittently. If you go to the 'jobs' page, this will execute it as well. It will still only submit at the interval you specify in the settings for the Facebook plugin.
Right now I'm working on a generic traffic source plugin, which will allow you to manually create ads for just about any traffic source. Native plugins for Adwords and Yahoo Ads are also in the pipeline.
I still haven't heard any issues or problems from anyone yet, but I'm sure there are bugs somewhere. If you run into any issues please email them to evanlambda@gmail.com or just post it on the bugtracker. I'd like to know about them as soon as possible as I'll be releasing a minor upgrade soon.
If you guys have any questions feel free to email or PM me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Congrats man!
I didn't go thru the whole thread but it looks great!
Just a few questions:
How good is it going to be if we talk particularly about tracking ppv traffic, is it ready to handle high volumes without failing MYSQL on server everytime unlike p202?
What would be its main edges over p202?
How about the security issue or being hacked by others to steal data?
Thanks!

I did a simulated test of 5000 clicks per minute on a modest server and everything performed well, with redirect time very low. When analyzing ads I've tested with several million clicks in the database on a modest server and the charting/profit calculation took a few seconds longer but was not an unreasonable amount of time.
As far as ppv traffic, I do not know how exactly it would do since I've never messed with ppv before. If someone with a lot of PPV experience would hit me up I could get a better understanding of what the needs are.
LambdaTracker's main advantage is the automation. Auto ad generation and submitting were my main goals. Also the grouping feature to analyze performance is another major improvement IMO.
Its still a very early stage product with lots of maturing to do. p202 has a lot of things I've still yet to add to LT, but I'm working on it steadily.
any chance you'll put it up on github? It would be cool to see your commits as you work on stuff, even if you dont want code contributions yet.
Yea I definitely plan on putting the code up in a repository soon and committing as I go along. Right now I'm leaning more toward SVN than git (mainly because my IDE of choice only supports SVN). It would be nice if I have other people working on it as well.
