CPA - 10.000 CLICKS - [Have You Ever Seen This?]

27 replies
Fellow Warriors,

I am having this major concern, and I am really upset about this.

Below is a picture, and as you can see my offers received almost 10.000 clicks, but no conversions.






Along the way when I saw that none of the clicks give me an conversion, I was getting suspicious, and therefor I asked someone in Germany to test 2 offers, one SOI and one DOI.
I aslo asked her to click the link in the confirmation email, to get the commission, but also the DOI offers didn’t convert.

I asked her to forward me the confirmation emails, so I could send them to my Affiliate Manager (AM)
Today I tested 2 offers myself, but then from another CPA network, so diferent links, and again, the offers didn’t convert, but the clicks are registered!

And off course, I clicked the link in the confirmation email.
No Conversion.
So, I don’t know what is happening, it looks like my .php cloaked CPA links are registered at the particular CPA network, but don’t give me an conversion.

So I send this picture also to two of my AM’s.
Here are their reactions:

AM1: jesus, that's rediculous, I have only seen that on legal offers…

AM2: Wow, I've never seen that many clicks not convert before.

And yes, I told my AM if have tested two offers myself, after I was getting suspicious, and they are happy I did!
So, my question to you CPA Warriors is:

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THIS BEFORE?

And what could be the problem?
I have paused all campaign’s to the LP’s these clicks comes from.

Thx,

E:confused:
P.S. these offers always converted consitendly, till now!

    I agree there is definitely something wrong with that traffic. How are you getting traffic to your offers?

      Also if you did the offers yourself and you did not get payed well .. Maybe it's not allowed but after 10.000 clicks ....

    Wow. It seems like the problem is on your side. Have you set up everything properly?
    That's really weird

    Wow, strange indeed. Hard to tell what exactly is going on. But I'm leaning towards the traffic source being the culprit. Do you mind revealing it? Is it CPV? media buys? pop-unders? Something else?

    Nothing strange for me at all. First is your traffic source. Bulk, cheap, low quality and untargeted traffic can make this kind of thing happen. Second, maybe something at the advertiser end. They banned your network, scrub or shave leads (something like that). But this is probably just your traffic sources because I can see from the screenshot that you run different dating offers from different advertisers/merchants. What's your traffic BTW? The traffic quality must be too low and untargeted.

    I got at least 5% conversation from all traffic.
    Have you tried different traffic source?
    And what CPA companies do you use?

    Yeah without knowing your source we can't help much, Right off the bat I would say untargeted visitors

    I'd say its easy to get 10k clicks and no conversions if your traffic is coming from adfly or some such source.

    I think you are direct with PPV. Or using even worse traffic. According to me, your traffic source is the culprit

    I don't see why everyone here is saying it's his traffic source? He said he even had people complete the offers to test if they would convert and they still didn't convert. Obviously it's on the networks end, just think how many people could have followed through and converted the offer but it never showed up.

      Until he shares his traffic source, it really seems like it is on him.

      He clearly bought the traffic in bulk, since after 5,000 clicks why didn't he stop sending traffic?

      Bulk traffic generally equals junk traffic.

        Yes I asked 1 people to fill out the offer to test it, but no conversion, she had the exact demographic for the offer. But OK, the majority of the traffic came from Adfly!

    Woah that really is quite absurd, I have never seen so many clicks not convert a single time before... I would seriously consider reviewing wherever you are getting traffic from!

    Either your traffic is so poor or theres a technical problem with your offer. Link broken or something.
