    Guys,
    Never create an ad on Google adwords & make the mistake of giving the wrong affiliate link.

    Result: Tsunami loss!

    I did something like this yesterday. Checking my campaign, i found that i made no sales from my daily budget of $50. Concerned on what was wrong i checked my ad & i noticed the mistake. Oops!

    I experienced the most foolish of all things i have done so far.

    So be WISE and always double check your affiliate link before starting.

    D'oh!
    almost as bad as bidding 50.00 on a keyword instead of 0.50

    Lucky you found out when you had only spent $50, better than fining out once you had spent $500.

    Now you know.

    Don't worry it happens all the time. I have had colleagues send the traffic to 404 pages and dead links over the weekend.

    Shows you that changes should not be done on a friday afternoon and anything done by a human can have mistakes.
