[…] The Performancing deal with PayPerPost that Nick Wilson initially called a “good news” turned out to be the exact opposite after the backlash from the 28,000 members and the deal has now been axed: After much discussion, we’ve decided that the deal proposed by PayPerPost just isnt right for us or our community. It’s regrettable that we should part ways as I still feel that Dan and Ted are stand up guys breaking new ground, but in the end, the deal was just not right for them or us. […]

I use Google Analytics, VC Dan, so can’t help you with the metrics question/comparison unfortunately.

Thanks for that link in your last post that explains away one of my major concerns with this acquisition: “Performancing.com will be kept separate from PayPerPost. They will remain two individual brands with their own unique offerings. Performancing members will not automatically become Posties, however they will be able to easily activate a PayPerPost account. Posties will also be able to easily create a Metrics account.”

Hey TDavid, Have you used Perf Metrics for awhile? If so, do you have any feedback on favorite functions/datapoints or ones that the product is missing to be the best free blogger analytics package on the net?

BTW, the deal has yet to close, but I don’t anticipate radical changes to the Perf products purchased by PPP, other than improving upon the foundation Nick built with limited resources. Community feedback will be important to focusing on the right improvements…

[…] From www.makeyougohmm.com: I’m not crazy about the performancing deal, which doesn’t include the ad network or Firefox add-on, but that’s life when you join a site that someday could be acquired by a different entity. Nick Wilson is calling this “good news” which I guess proves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. […]
