Why so many Referrer Errors - Whats Wrong

[davthp]

Why does Tradedoubler generate loads and loads of Referrer Errors. It seems to be increasing as more people get XP systems, Broadband and Firewalls. I have included all referring sites (double and triple checked) and still they increase!!

I have replaced lots of links with DGM, CJ and AWIN which work fine and Tradedoubler is generating so many errors its becoming hopeless promoting their merchants.

Anyone any ideas on sorting this as I may drop Tradedoubler altogether as I can't afford to send them FREE traffic.

I asked them this recently and im getting loads of reffered errors as well but they say they still track ok so no problems there. If they track ok why use refers anyway ?

Just ran an error report for the last 7 days (over 10,000 UVs), and the only errors I get are some old links to dead merchants.

Any particular merchants you're having problems with?

[davthp]

The errors occur across all Tradedoubler merchants.

If they still track OK why use them?

Same here, the only errors I'm getting are where I've tested a new page before uploading it.

how do I run an error report?

I sometimes wonder why the affiliate networks make it so difficult for people.
I don't know how anyone is supposed to guess that "Traffic error" in the "reports" part of the menu will run this report
