Netflix and the Google Affiliate Network

Hello,
I must be missing something that google and netflix wants to keep a secret. How do you track clicks to your netflix links if google affiliate network does not show clicks?

Do they only track actions when someone signs up.

I clicked my link with a tracking id on it and I can't get it to show up in GAN and its been 2 days.

Here is an example of the link I set up and clicked minus the http://

gan.doubleclick.net/gan_click?lid=400000000xxxxxxxx&pubid=20000000000x xxxxx&mid=12345

at the end is the &mid=12345. I am trying to test out the links to see if I can run reports on the &mid=12345 to see if I can track by website but there seems to be no way as GAN doesn't seem to track clicks.

I click in GAN on activity detail>then I choose filters and under link id I put in my tracking id which is 12345 but nothing comes up. I enter &mid=12345 and nothing. no matter what I enter I get nothing.

Does GAN take a week or more to update stats???

How does Gan work???

There help is useless. Does GAN track clicks and if so how do you run a report to show it. I've tried everything you can.

GAN will usually update daily for me.

It looks like Gan doesn't track clicks by link id. It seems they show the quantity of clicks but they don't break them down by sub id or &mid=. If you want to track sub id you'll need actions. In other words when people sign up for netflix then you will see those actions in your stats. At least thats what I think. I'll have to have someone sign up for netflix to test this.

I was going to do the "friendly recommendations" that warrior areevez posted about here:
One Golden Method!!! $300 PER WEEK ALONE!
by having hairdressers, barbers and nail salons recommend to their clients netflix and I would track them by sub id or &mid=. But to know for sure if this works I'll need to get some signups to netflix just to see if it will track and show actions by sub id.
