How long for leads to bve reported?

jplayer1234 · 08-22-2009, 08:30 AM

Ok, so I'm a new CPA affiliate, so go easy on me!

Anyways, I ran my first CPA offer yesterday, and according to the Affiliate network i'm using with Directtrack it shows I got 100 clicks. Yet the leads show zero. I know at least 1 out of 100 had to have at least entered their email address to get the lead, right?

So here are my questions:

Is there a delay on how fast the leads are reported through directtrack?

Am I naive to think at least 1 out of 100 clicks would have entered their email address?

Also I know I got 1,000's of impressions, but according to directtrack it shows I only got 99 impressions, but 100 clicks, therefor my CTR is 101%!! I'm afraid I'll look like I'm cheating...

Thanks for your help guys...

and this forum looks like it will be very helpful as I get this CPA thing going.

Hi JPlayer,

How long until leads appear depends on how the network set up the campaign. For example, my Passion Search dating campaign tracks leads instantly.

I have a Soccer DVD Campaign that imports stats - so leads on that campaign will not show up until I import the latest sales.

When you look at the campaign listings in your stats, your network may or may not show you how often leads/sales data is updated. You can search for them this way too - for "Real Time Campaigns" or "Import Campaigns".

My best advice would be to contact the network and ask them how often leads/sales are updated for that campaign, if not in real time.

I hope this info help. Best of success to you!

Regards,

Mike

It is different each offer, but most are in near-real time. If you would like to know about specific campaigns you should ask your AM to be sure.

How much does DirectTrack cost, and what do you get?

How much does DirectTrack cost, and what do you get?

I am looking for both a tracking solution and an ad server. The tracking software must be able to track multiple sales / leads from the "same" user multiple times per day (ie. it can track duplicate sales from the IP address).

Any suggestions?
