Information Madness

Darren Rowse from problogger wrote about reporting delays from WidgetBicks, Chitika, AuctionAds etc few days back on his blog. As we are used to get almost instant revenue information from Google adsense, most of the other PPC programs don't give that feature and we have to wait for few days to get the revenue information for a particular day.

Kontera's reporting mechanism often seems to have issues where they fall a few days behind. One would wonder if its possible to get kontera revenue information instantly, similar to Google Adsense. Well the answer is yes, you can get instant revenue information from within Kontera online reporting. I think its some hidden secret that I have discovered.

Those who are using Kontera, you might notice that the moment you login, you would be taken to reports tab. Here you normally see last 7 days earning report. So when you select current day in "To" field, it gives you a message that the to date must not exceed last verification date. Here is the work around for getting your today's revenue information with kontera.

Select appropriate from and to date. You can select today's date for "From" and "To". Now instead of clicking on "Update" button, click on the "Parter Reports" link(See the image below) and voila.. you will get your today's earning upto that time period. I am not sure if Kontera people know about their this "hidden feature" but I was able to get my earning reports this way daily.

I hope this will be helpful to you. If you have any questions regarding this, let me know and I would see if I can explain it better.
