I’ve been considering affmeter.com but unfortunately it doesn’t support EPN at the moment. Other than that, it looks pretty awesome.

Okay.. phew.. I’m not the only one.

@markowe – CJ does update throughout the day (earnings and clicks), especially if you watch the ‘Quick Stats’ on the home page vs. performance reports.

I also notice when I launch sites, I watch the logs like crazy. Usually that fades away pretty quick.

@Web Career Girl – I too hope for the day where earnings are so high it doesn’t matter to look

Argh, I am a statsaholic too! I hate to think how much time I waste on it. Sometimes I get into a trance checking stats and I just have to get off my computer and do something about it. Luckily, though, that doesn’t always happen! But even so, I check waaaayy to much and I’m looking forward to a day when I’m earning so much I don’t even need to check

Oh boy, don’t get me onto this. I think it’s one of those “It’s out there, but people aren’t talking much about it”. When I first started making crappy websites and doing affiliate marketing I think I was obsessively checking stats every two minutes. It probably took well over a year before I started to kick the habit and also to realise that earnings stats were mostly updated once a day. So now I just start getting the shakes around 1pm CET (Amazon) and 8pm CET (EPN). I am pretty sure CJ only update once a day too though? I haven’t really started earning from CJ yet, so that one’s less obsessive!

Before I narrowed it down to a few affiliate programs it was REALLY bad – there was Adsense, WidgetBucks, ShoppingAds, Kontera, Linkshare. A constant obsessive need to refresh my stats, awful…

My name is Mark, and I am a statsoholic…
