Something Weird With a CPA Network

Quick story

I am testing out various offers on a new cpa network, and when i logged in to my stats, it said I had 6 conversions yesterday for a total of $204. When I logged in this morning, 6 conversions were still their in one graph, but then in another reporting system, it says i only had one conversion.

I emailed my affiliate manager about this, havent heard back from her yet, but logged back in and all of a sudden my conversions are gone. IT shows that I only have one conversion now. Confused as hell, wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this.

This re-affirms my short term (so far) belief that cpa networks skim, and they forgot to cover up their tracks.

Any ideas?

Robert

    Never had anything like this happened to me.

    I don't think my network skim that much as your new network does...

    What network is it? I had this same thing happen to me, but I found out it was my mistake. First day I had 12, the next 10, the next 6, I then found out I would only check the graph for those individual days instead over a week or month! haha.

      Yep this was my initial thought. I cant imagine they would credit you with the sale and then take them back in an effort to skim. Especially to that extent.

      Some networks (even some good ones) have very weird statstics systems that isnt as easy to use as it should be.

    The network would have to be half stupid to do it like that... I'd contact your AM and wait for a response.

    Yeah i talked to my am and she told me she doesnt see anything. I know what I saw. But, it wouldnt really have made sense, that would have meant my conversion rate would have been like 15%. Possible, but very unlikely.

    I'd rather not name the network, don't want rumors being spread about them.

    Its a well known one though.

    Maybe it's time to move on to another network, either the tracking is screwy or the people there are screwy

      Well I do have one conversion for a certain product and it converted at like 5%. The traffic is too little right now to tell what its going to do, im just gonna do some seo and see what i can get.

      Thanks everyone for your replies
