my initial thoughts were 'no, i wouldn't put my username and passwords in', but the more i thought about it, i realized you wouldn't necessarily have to. depending on how the site works.
i don't have to put in all of my passwords for a rakeback sight. i just login and they have my stats for all of the poker sites.
here's how i think it would work best. an affiliate signs up and creates one user name and password for your site. either during registration or once registered, they check (box) the sites that they are affiliated with and provide their affiliate user name only.
the host then sends the user name to the poker site to have it included in the daily affiliate report. you would only have to have your registered users included in the reports.
if the daily affiliate reports were provided from the poker site in a cvs or txt format, they could then be easily converted and downloaded into one data base.
this method would probably take more time and maintenance to maintain, depending on the number of registered affiliates.
it would be great if it were for even 5 sites, just to start and then build up from there. once big enough, i'm sure people would pay a nominal monthly fee for the service.
i don't know. just my thoughts. i'd try to do it myself, but don't have the programming knowledge or the time.
