How Tracking Works
Offerit keeps track of visitors and visitor activity for several of its reports. The track and strack article explains how Offerit's tracking works with inbound affiliate traffic so that you will be able to use it in the most effective way.
Available Reports
Offerit provides a wide variety of different reports, so that you can track your statistics accurately and efficiently. These reports are broken up into the following different categories.
Profit & Loss Report
The Profit & Loss Report provides a visual graph using various statistics, as well as a comprehensive table breaking down these statistics in text form. This helps to maintain accurate records on your offer's total profit and loss, as well as being able to see all separate statistics that comprise this total profit and loss-- allowing you to see where any inaccuracies your accounting may come from.
The Profit & Loss graph is broken down by transactions per day for sales, continuity, refunds, and reversals. For raw views, the graph is broken down by views per day.
The table at the bottom of this report displays all these statistics, as well as the income that these figures generate (customer sale income, continuity income, refunds loss, etc.). This table also provides the total affiliate payments due per day, as well as additional payments and fees that you may have incurred.
Some figures in this report table will appear as hyperlinks. These figures can be moused over to view a brief breakdown of how this sum was calculated. Clicking on a statistic will take you to a detailed report about that particular statistic.
For more information on this report, please see our Profit and Loss Report wiki article.
Subscription Report
The Subscription Report provides in-depth details of each and every customer subscription that is tracked in your Offerit system. This allows you search and view specifics about each customer subscription, ensure its validity, and see specific dollar figures regarding each subscription.
Clicking any customer or affiliate username brings you to the Customer Details or Affiliate Details page, where you can view any information about that specified customer or affiliate that is stored in Offerit.
For more information on this report, please see our Subscription Report wiki article.
Transactions Report
The Transactions Report provides a list of any transaction that has been tracked by Offerit. In this report, you will be able to view specific details about any transaction, including dollar figures, transaction type, and various transaction identification information. This helps to ensure that all transactions undertaken have been reflected in Offerit, that all additions and deductions to the total transaction amount are accurate, and that your affiliate payments are accurate as well.

Affiliate Manager Report
The Affiliate Manager Report provides detailed information regarding Affiliate Managers set up in your Offerit.

Visitor Actions Report
The Visitor Actions Report displays any actions tracked by Offerit that a visitor has undertaken, as well as any relevant information regarding that action.

Affiliate Referral Signup Commissions Report

This is useful for checking how many affiliates are part of your commissions as a result of your Affiliate Referral commission. You can also see which affiliate has referred the most affiliates, as well as the payments they received for referring other affiliates.

Additional Commissions Report
The Additional Commissions Report provides an in-depth view of any commissions categorized in the Profit & Loss Report as "Additional Commission". This report breaks down individual categories that comprise this additional payment with a graph that displays all statistics found in the table below based on dollar amount per day.
This report can prove useful for ensuring that your payments for commissions outside of basic commissions are accurate-- this includes affiliate referral commissions, Affiliate Manager commissions, partner payments, etc. This table can be used to see how costly these commissions can be, as well as view a day-to-day breakdown of statistics not specified in the Profit & Loss Report.
For more information on this report, please see our Additional Commissions Report wiki article.
Affiliate Ratios
The Affiliate Ratios report displays a report broken down by affiliate. You will be able to see the total number of raw and unique page views, sales and the ratio of those figures.
This report will also show you the ratio of the number of transactions for an affiliate with the number of refunds.

This report is useful for comparing affiliates amongst each other through an easy to read, visual method. You can also view a daily breakdown of affiliate stats, allowing you to further analyze your affiliates' effectiveness through various criteria.

Single Day Comparison Report
The Single Day Comparison Report allows you to compare a single day's statistics to a given time period, such as last period, past 30 days, this year, etc. The statistics in this report are broken down by affiliate, allowing you to compare an affiliate's daily statistics with their historical statistics.

You can use this report to measure the amount of change in views, sales, and continuity over a given time period, as well as measure the change in individual affiliate statistics over a certain time period. The same is possible for comparing day to day changes in statistics.
