Differences between the versions of the SharewareStatistics system
The SharewareStatistics system is distributed in two versions: one-site and multisite
One-site version of the system
The one-site version of the system can collect and analyze statistical data only from one site. The license for this system version does not allow you to install it on more than one site belonging to you or your company.
Multisite version of the system
A lot of shareware developers have several sites - a separate site for each of their products and one corporate site. As a rule, to enlarge the number of external links to their sites as well as for other reasons, all their sites have cross links to each other. And site visitors can initially come to one site, then go to your other site and buy the program from your corporate site where they can purchase any of your products. For such cases we developed the multisite version of the system.
The multisite versions of the system installed on several of your sites can work together as a whole. When a visitor goes from one of your site to another, the systems exchange the information about this visitor. You can trace what the visitor does both on the first and on the second site, which gives you additional ways for studying the sources of your target visitors. Let us take a couple of example:
You have a corporate site and a site for some program. The program is being actively discussed on some forum. But a link to your corporate site was given as the address of the program. All those at the forum are satisfied with the program, go to your corporate site, then move to the site of the program and buy it there. You have an upsurge in sales! As a marketer, you should be interested in the source of these visitors, you are interested in taking part in the discussion, adding fuel to the interest in the program and thus increasing your sales even more. The one-site version of the system installed on the site of your program will show that all the visitors come from your corporate site (and it is really so). Such information is not very valuable since your corporate site is not the initial source of buyers in this case. The mutisite version of the system installed on both your corporate site and the site of your program would show you that the customers come from your corporate site and that they get to your corporate site from the site with that forum. You go to that forum and your sales double! ;-)
The example when a visitor comes from a search engine to your corporate site is practically the same. He goes from your corporate site to the site of the program and buys it there. The one-site version of the system installed on the site of the program will show you that this visitor comes from your corporate site. The multisite version of the system installed on both your corporate site and the site of your program would show you that the visitor comes from a search engine by some query phrase.
Additionally, the multisite versions of the system can share one MySQL database (if your sites are hosted by one and the same hosting provider).
Licenses for the multisite version
There are two types of licenses for the multisite version of the SharewareStatistics system:
- The license for installing and using the multisite version of the SharewareStatistics system on not more than three sites belonging to you or to your company.
- The license for installing and using the multisite version of the SharewareStatistics system on any number of sites belonging to you or to your company.
You can find the prices of various licenses of the multisite version of the SharewareStatistics system in the ordering section.
