Should traffic from CB affiliates show up in google analytics? The reason I ask this is because my google analytics is showing absolutely 0 visitors, when in reality there should be at least 80+ per day according to CB publisher tracking. Another odd thing is that one of my affiliates is a pr7 site with 30,000 unique visitors per day, and he has a link to my product on EVERY page. The hoplinks are well placed on each page and yet (according to CB), I am only getting 40 or so hops per day from him. It just doesn't seem possible to me...Do you think there could be some kind of problem with CB tracking? I do believe he is using his own analytic system for all outgoing links (or ads) on his site. do you think they might be causing some kind of conflict with affiliate tracking? If that is true, then why is the massive amount of visitors that he should theoretically be sending not reflecting in my sales (I am getting basically 0 sales per day, and I can't imagine it's because of a poor conversion rate). Heres what the outgoing link looks like on his site (Im guessing all of the extra stuff is for his own outgoing link tracking system): http://www.XXXXXX.com/goto/?ref=left_menu&url=http://HISAFFILIATEID.MYAFFILIATEID.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SiteAd **Red is the replaced info to protect affiliate confidentiality
That's really odd, did you check that your analytic code is placed correctly? You can test from the Analytic code main page.
I believe so, there is a checkmark under 'status' in the analytic main page...my analytics code is before the </body> tag--not immediately before, but before..it just doesn't add up!
If your analytics shows the green check mark than it is setup correctly. It really depends on his website's niche. Is it directly related with your product? Is his website a high tech site where the visitors will have ad blocking installed on the browser?
