Adwords and ClickBank stats not accurate?

FredFarnes · 05-27-2009, 03:06 PM

I'm using Adwords with conversion tracking, and clickbank affiliate links with tracking id on a particular product. The numbers don't add up!

Looking at the month of May, I'm puzled by the statistics.

Adwords says I had 1120 clicks, Clickbank says I had 960

Adwords says 4 conversions, Clickbank says 2 sales (but one of those refunded), plus 1 without tracking ID (so it should not be an adwords sale).

The clicks/hops difference is understandable, but why the conversions/sales difference?

Anyone else have some practical experience with this?

	So, you want to sell me another way to easily make "X" dollars in "X" days? ROFL too funny! IM success requires hard work and lots of time. Most newbies do not survive the steep learning curve. Anyone who says otherwise is probably selling you a fantasy.
