Why Aren't Impressions Showing Up?

4 replies
I've just started promoting a product that's powered by 1shoppingcart but my account is showing 0 impressions. It is showing clicks and sales, but surely you have to have an impression before you get a click? Just wondering why impressions might not be showing up and does it matter?

    Most likely just the software they are using most do not show impressions anymore as it is a wasted bandwidth. The only thing you really need to know is your clicks to sales. However if you want to track impressions there are plenty for free sources out there like googles that will help you track better what ads are converting better then others and where they are converting from. This allows you to get rid of the bad areas you might be promoting and wasting money on and thus spend more in the areas where it is working

      Most of my links are text links - although I do have one banner which I guess should have impressions showing. As long as it doesn't matter I don't mind - I was afraid the vendor might think I'm doing some funny business or something (which I'm absolutely not).

        all vendors care about is you bringing them clients without causing any potential trouble.
        i have also been in a vendor's shoes and I have given strict instuctions against any sort of blackhat methods but I really dont care as long as the sale doesnt get a chargeback....
