Performancing Says Bye Bye to Metrics
Today, Nick Wilson announced that Performancing will kill Metrics as of the end of December. Evidently, the 16,000+ users are a huge burden on their servers. They are looking at other options such as making Metrics open source or selling it. This decision is a big disappointment for bloggers as Metrics is one of the few stat packages that gives bloggers an indication of when and from where they are getting Adsense clicks.
Without Metrics, will bloggers say bye bye to Performancing? This blogger thinks so. I suppose it’s more fun making money with ads than giving stats aways for free. However, the Performancing ad network is just getting off the ground. And, bloggers have an ever-growing list of monetization choices with limited available space. Without Metrics, Performancing will be left with mediocre forums, a blog editor, and those over-sized ads. Bad move Performancing.
