Hey guys, I recently started a YSM campaign directing traffic to an Azoogle offer. However the YSM dashboard says I payed for 8 clicks, however Azoogle says that there were 23 clicks to my affiliate page. I know that all these clicks didn't come from me because I only looked at my affiliate page 3 or 4 times. Where did the others come from? The only promotion I've done was thru YSM and nothing else, so no one else could have know my url expect the Yahoo searchers. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm really worried because I'm a number cruncher by nature and inaccurate reporting will not help me in determining the profitability of my campaign. In math, you can't figure out the right answer with the wrong formula...
well somebody could have clicked you ad.. then clicked you aff link on your landing page.. then clicked the back button... then your aff link again.. then back etc etc.. if you have more then one aff link on your page this could easily be the case.. its not a real drama
Some one prolly refreshed the page to many times or went back to your home page andclicked on it again, one of those things.
you will always have more clicks show in azoogleads then in your yahoo. This is because spiders and robots will follow the link and also QA bots but you wont be charged for them obviously
Yep, the surest way to drive yourself absolutely crazy in this game is to try to match the clicks on your PPC campaign, to your server logs, to your Azoogle clicks. The numbers will never match.
After only a few days with the program, I've figured this to be true. If I only I could increase the CTR on my adCenter ads beyond 0.07%!!!
