Amazon is reporting way too many clicks than the ones I see on my site

I have been monitoring my amazon site for a while and I noticed when I log to amazon I see like 50 to 100 clicks but on my site using more than 1 tool I see that the users that have clicked are way less, like 15-20 so I am wondering why the numbers do not much, I actually monitored each user and when did they click and still got those odd numbers.

That made me think that my site might be "cookie stuffing" so I went to each review and cleared the cookies then visited the review page. nothing is counted unless I click.. any explanation would be appreciated.

    Clicks reported by amazon doesn't mean the number of visitors that clicked through your link.

    For example: You get 1 person that clicked through your amazon link in one day but that visitor "clicked" and visited 100 pages in amazon. Amazon will show you 100 clicks for that day.

    To see how many actual visitors you get, go to -> reports-> daily trends. It should be the numbers below "unique visitors."
