tested a offer myself & didnt show up

hinduhead · 03-21-2010, 12:44 PM

so ive been getting alot of clicks & no conversions on one of my campaigns, so i submitted a fake conversion, & it didnt show on network stats & my p202 pixel didnt fire.

what is going on here?

does it recognize my computer so wont count it as a conversion?

Depends on the network....many of them simply cheat you every now and then.

Yep it's called scrubbing/shaving in this industry.

yeah its a scrubbed offer

I do a fake conversion in offers im interested in promoting to see if it goes through, if it doesn't I skip that offer.

You can have a few people with different IPs try it and see how what the stats are like. This isnt allowed of course. But some people argue that if advertisers are not giving credit for actions we generate then affiliates have a right to test out offers to make sure the actions are counted.

Normally for low payout simple submits, you will need to work a scrubbing factor into your campaign and expectations.

Yes above comments sad but true.

But always try to get someone else to do your testing as "The Kenster" advises because you never want to give the network a reason not to pay you once the cash starts flowing.

wow that is really weird, becaue i had this exact same problem with the same network with another offer.

i guess some networks scrub more then others huh

the crazy part is its a 3 page submit!

i found the same offer on another network gonna try that out now

Cross network split testing = CRITICAL

...especially on submit offers but also forms and ALL offers
