Clicky (getclicky.com) - Web Analytics in Real Time

Clicky Web Analytics

Advertisement

Recently we were looking for a site that provides in-depth analysis of traffic and stats of sites and blogs. Since our traffic has increased we trying to see what drives people to our blog. We have tried many traffic stat sites. We tried Google Analytic, which is ok, if you don't mind receiving your stats a day later. Which I do not like having to wait for. You have other sites that give you real time stats but only stores up to 1000 page views. With our blog, there are a lot of page views. So in order to see a large amount of page views you have to upgrade, which is outrageously high with these other stat traffic sites.

Eventually we found a site that meets both our needs. Real time stats with a decent cost to track a lot of pages. On top of that, you can earn commissions from referring others. Which is why we are reviewing this site.

We will be testing this site and we will be sure to update everyone on our progress. Here are the pros and cons of this site:






PROS:




1. In Real Time - You can view the current page loads and visitors in real time. Click on the "Spy" tab and a page will load showing your live stats and page updates as visitors come and go.

2. 21 Days Free Trial - You can be a free member, but you will get a 21 day free trial as a Pro Member.

3. Historical Data - You can also view past data. Depending on your membership your data will be stored for over a certain period of time. Free members get 30 days

4. Earn From Commissions - You can earn up to $20 for each commission by referring others at Clicky.

5. URL Shortener - They also provide a URL shortener. Free & Upgraded members can use this service. Free members can only shorten 5 URLs per day.

6. Forum - They have a forum. Forums are great for feedback and support. You can find their forum here:

http://getclicky.com/forums/

7. Upgrade With Commissions - You can use your affiliate commissions to purchase your yearly upgrade.

CONS:

1. No Proofs - We are presently testing this site, but at the same time we can not find any proofs of people being paid for their commissions. Either people are using their commisions to upgrade or not posting proofs. In time we hope to have this downside resolved. Will update if we are ever paid.


Some Things You Should Know About This Site...
  • If you are going to participate in the affiliate program, you must have a minimum of $10 dollars in your account. Payments are made to paypal only. When you have earned the minimum to cashout ($10) a link will show up on your user homepage that says "Redeem my balance".
  • If you do not have a premium account, your balance will go towards earning a premium account first.
  • Affiliate commissions are not available for cashout until 14 days after they have entered into the system.
  • You can use your earnings to pay for a upgrade but it has to be enough to pay for a full year of service up front.
  • If that user ever becomes a premium subscriber, you will get 20% of every payment made to them by that user, forever.

Summary:

Overall we are pretty pleased with this site. We will most likely keep using them and upgrade when our Free Pro Membership Trial ends. Clicky will help us monitor our hits and where traffic is coming from. It has all the nifty features that you could ever want in a site tracker.

If anyone would like to share their experience that they had with this site, whether it is good or bad, feel free to do so in our comment section at the end of this review.

AdzOnFire is a free revenue share site (FRS) and a traffic exchange site into one. Basically you can earn points and commissions off of referring others, and browsing ads. The points can be cashed in for FRS (or shares), which in return earns you cash. In order to exchange your points you must be a Silver member.

When you join AdzOnFire you are automatically a Iron member. To become a silver member you must refer 3 active users to AdzOnFire. It is a free membership that is gained by referring others. If you can not refer new members, then you can convert your points to ads. In order to do this you must be a Bronze member. Bronze member is another free membership level that is achieved by gaining 100 points.

You can earn a Gold membership by earning 30,000 points. Or you can pay $30 for it. For diamond membership you must pay $50. All others can be achieved through free memberships.

AdzOnFire is still a relatively new program that is owned by a owner who has owned quite a few sites. Since this site is new we are adding AdzOnFire to our Ongoing Investigations List. Here are the pros & cons of this site:

PROS:

1. Memberships - There are several memberships and they give you the opportunity to earn them with out spending a dime. All except diamond membership. Which you have to pay $50 for.




CONS

1. No Forum -Whatever the reason is, whether lack of staffing, time to manage one, or spam.. this site does not have a forum. Forums are a excellent tool for every PTC/GPT site to have. Members can post proofs and have a open line of communication between staff and other members.

2. New Site - Site registration date showing Nov1, 2009. With new sites you will not have proof that it pays.

Some Things You Should Know About This Site...
  • Payments are sent out weekly on Tuesdays.
  • In order to get FRS you must trade your points. Each 1000 points can be exchanged for 1 FRS. The return of a FRS is $1.60.
  • Silver members are limited to 5 active FRS at any time. Gold and Diamond members don't have this limitation.



Summary:

The site will remain on our ongoing investigation list. We will continue to monitor this site and update it as we see fit. If anyone would like to share their experience that they had with this site, whether it is good or bad, feel free to do so in our comment section at the end of this review.

READ OUR DISCLAIMERIzyBux is in prelaunch mode. Expected to launch before the year is out. No ads are showing, but you can refer others till the launch date.

We are adding izyBux to our Ongoing Investigation List and here are the pros & cons of this site:

PROS:

1. Forum - They have a forum. Forums are great tool for sites to have. Members can post proofs, get support, and updates. You can find their forum here:

http://www.izybux.com/forum/

They also have a live chat. http://www.izybux.com/chat/

2. Decent Referral Limits - Although it is not unlimited, as a standard member you can have up to 50 direct refs. Your account will say 60 if you are a pioneer.

3. Instant Payments - Site is going to offer instant payouts. No more waiting days or weeks for your payment. A great option for ever site to have.


CONS

1. New Site - Site registered on Dec 10, 2009 . With all new sites you should wait to invest. Test the site and get paid first. In our opinion you should never invest till the site has been online for 6 months. At the least, if not more. Since so many sites come and go, do not invest more than what you can afford to lose.


Some Things You Should Know About This Site...

  • The minimum amount you can request to cashout is $2. Every other cashout after that increases by $2 each time until it hits $10 where it will stay.
  • Standard Members $0.01 per click, $0.005 per referral click

  • Premium Members $0.01 per click $0.01 per referral click


Summary:

Many will say this site is the same as OmniBux and TuiBux. We are not seeing any evidence of this being the same owner of those sites. They are just using the same script with some alterations.

Till the site launches and payments start to roll out, the site will remain on the ongoing investigation list. We will continue to monitor this site. If anyone would like to share their experience that they had with this site, whether it is good or bad, feel free to do so in our comment section at the end of this review.
