I read your article… Actually you write about affiliate networks and their lack of reporting section. I have just found a new competitor to CB and PDC . It’s Click2Sell.EU (www.click2sell.eu). I checked this network and found that they have a great reporting system on almost every aspect of your affiliate campaign. You can sell your products, run your affiliate program and then find out how many e.g. visitors are brought by each of your affiliate, you can easily find out which websites refer visitors to your affiliate url or sales page and all sales that are made by those visitors. You can even track keywords that results you in a sale on Google Adwords or other pay per click campaigns. I would suggest you to check it out.
