I am not saying that CR isn’t an excellent program. I am a stickler for accuracy (anal!) and I like responsiveness in a program.
I think this issue is very serious and (for me) I would choose a program that I make LESS with each month if I feel they are accurately reporting stats and responsive to my needs.
This is NOT an MG issue, as Brightshare and WagerShare do not suffer from this effect. I pointed this out on GPWA, in emails to Renee and Ryan (who both seem very nice and willing to help) et. al.
It has been months (years?) and the issue persists. I do not feel like CR has taken this issue seriously. I like to log-in see accurately: Downloads, GuestAccts, Real accounts in an appropriate ratio that I have come to know and expect from honest, well-performing programs, as reasonable and acceptable after doing this for a long, long time.
WagerShare and Brightshare almost follow an exact percentage match between downloads, guests, RMPs–it makes me comfortable to see this and I can accurately judge my results–how can you track anything with CR?
Also, many of you pointed out that it takes you a long time (years, in some cases) to start earning with them–WHY? This should not be the case, as long as you are sending appropriate reasonable, traffic IMO, you should start earning from day with with a good program.
What else is not being tracked correctly if they cant differentiate bots from real visitors in their download stats?
