how reliable is afilliate windows figures?

[pricethat]

Heres the figures, generated by affiliate windows "milestone in affiliate marketing".

Apparently from my report generated from the 1st of January 2004 to todays date, i managed to get some whoppingly good traffic buzzing around the net.

Heres what bugs me the most, i have a really heavy tracking statistics program on my site, i can see how many unique users there were that day, the total amount of clicks to products (including search engine traffic etc). I can turn this information into day, weeks, hours, upside down and inside out and they still dont relate anything like what affiliate window tell me.

impressions: 16,992,183 (thats right 16.9 million)
Clicks: 2,110,596 (again 2.1 million)
sales: 10
commision: a measly £31.70 (ta very much,)

Now my thoughts are, if this data is wrong, then how wrong is everything else. According to my figures my conversion rate sinks well below 0.0001% which if that is the case, i must be the lowest converting affiliate in the universe.

Also, its well below what affiliate window show as the average income per click. Its not so much the money that bothers me, thankfully i can live off my girlfriends immoral earnings but it just makes you think how wrong can people be.

If this data is wrong then maybe they get datas wrong on the merchants side as well?

Maybe merchants could answer this thread as well as other affiliates to see if i am the only one? Its not a dig, but if there is a problem it would be great to get it fixed, i would love accurate stats like affiliate window give.

I don't know what to say.

I get nowhere near that amount of traffic but if I did, I would be looking at 4 figures easily.

Can u please do a simple redirect on each of your pages to my site, I'll pay you £100/month

Thats idd very very very low figures.

Numbers without more data is almost useless. What site is it? What sort of visitors do you get?

If you've got a wallpaper site you could easily pick up that mad sort of traffic which doesn't want to spend money they only want free wallpapers.

PM me a url if you like and I will have a look and offer my comments.

I dont know how many times I need to say this, but the ticket system is where you should be contacting Affiliate Window for reporting problems with the system. This is a reporting error in the link performance report when viewing specific dates and it we are currently looking into it. We will have this fixed as soon as possible, sorry for the inconvenience.
