Hi all,

The problem we have with PAP is that the software seems perfect for a limited number of products but not for a shop with let's say 25000 products (like ours)

First of all we cannot create 25000 banners of course. This can be solved by using destination URL's. Right now we have created a "resources" page where people can first lookup the product to be linked to and then dynamicly some banners are displayed for that particular product. These are the same banners all the time except for the product related items such as the name, price and image.

However, what I would like to see is destination URL's to be tracked in the system as if it where banners. Like that we will be able to follow which banners are the most succesful. Also for each destination URL we would like to use a 1 pixel Image tracking URL for the views. This would be a great feature.

The clicks on links where desturl is used are being displayed in general (not banner specific) reports which is good, not perfect because perfect it would be if each desturl could be tracked. However, I have noticed that views http://domain/a/scripts/sb.php?a_aid=YOUR_ID&a_bid=&desturl=something are not displayed in the general reports although a pixel URL is created in the create dynamic link system. This seems like a bug to me.
