Definitely true… whoever can develop such an application (for general use even on a subscription basis) will make a killing. Good point on the click counts, etc… MBL does do a decent job of that.

Sam it really depends on what type of at-a-glance view you want.
Clicky doesn’t allow me to see things at a glance that I find useful, such as which content generated subscribers, or at least clicks on subscribe buttons. I can see just a total count.

I haven’t yet found the ideal tracking service that I can’t pick holes with within 5 minutes of using it.

I use Clicky as well. Simple and seem much more “trustworthy” than Performancing or Goog Analytics. The thought of using MBL for such purposes is beyond my realm of comprehension. I can’t believe people still do that.

I have always found I have a negative gut reaction to Performancing. I can not shake the feeling I get. It’s the same when I know I’m talking to true blackhats, spammers or “network marketing” people that want to “sign you up”… something I can not express but I do not trust them.

My gut is a good indicator of things.

It is Clicky, but no Acquisition, just a license it seems, as per the bottom of my previous post.

It is not just a ploy to earn affiliate commissions - he has â€œofficiallyâ€ licensed our product and is hosting it on the Performancing servers. He believes in our product, as do we, otherwise we wouldnâ€™t be in this position. I donâ€™t know what else to say, but I think you are being overly negative for no good reason.

With it being hosted in the Performancing servers, it is a question of who you want to have your data, a tracking company that might be acquired, or a potential competitor. The whole balance might change if Performancing buy them outright, or relaunch the monetization network and require that data. On this blog I would be happy to run both, it is fairly public, but not on my niche sites.

Wow.. Performancing Metrics looks just like Clicky! Did they acquire Clicky?

[...] based on the information I currently have, I would much prefer to use and recommend the use of the Clicky service directly, rather than a white label version hosted by [...]
