Dating.co.uk - Incorrect Clicks Showing?

**DeCal** · 01-10-04

I've been pushing the Dating.co.uk campaign on TD.

Everything seemed to be going ok until i checked the Stats tonight for the last month.

Google Traffic is: 191 Clicks
TD Traffic: 47 Clicks

I know that the said program is run on a UV aswell as a User Sign Up and a Sale but even though this is said, should it not still show the correct amount of clicks?

Another angle on this is that some are duplicate clicks but as i run campaigns through HyperTracker i decided to investigate further. The Actual amount of UV's for September is 148 which means to me that there are 101 missing clicks.

Anyone else had this problem?

Regards

Dean

I would say something, but I might get sued.

I trust very few merchants or networks in this industry. Tracking is so easy to manipulate ("oops, we didn't realise there was a tracking error, but it has been rectified now") that I would treat any merchant as guilty until you can prove them innocent.

The number of times I have had friends buying via my affiliate links and not received commission is incredible.

The reason every Tom, Dick and Harry has set up an affiliate program is because it is win, win, win for them. Set up of affiliate marketing totally skewed to benefit merchant and not the slaves/affiliates.

Dump dating.co.uk and find a personals affiliate program which pays residual income, a percentage of each members membership fee for life. There are at least four good ones out there.

I've gotta say, I agree partly with Nadeem.

I've work with the majority of the major online dating services, and there's less than half a dozen merchants I could really trust and be confident in working with.

RE: lifetime rev-share. Residual income is fine, unless of course you can earn more in a high CPA deal, which could never be matched in a rev-share deal.

Nadeem. I've got a dating-central.com site, but not sent much traffic through. Could you email or PM me for a chat about the program, would be interested to know how you're finding it?
