    Say you have a site that does at least $5 a day in sales (sometimes up to $20) and all of a sudden, gets 0 for a week and a half....how do you know if someone is leeching off of your account or doing something else shady with your CJ account number?

    Can you verify that clicks and impressions are the same as before?

    There's no way for somebody to leech off of your account or do something shady with your account number... if there was an issue with a parasite software program rewriting your link for end users, you wouldn't see your entire traffic drop off.

    Are you sure you weren't just promoting an advertiser that had a seasonal swing for the holidays in December?

    It happens all the time. I have had advertisers that performed great for a few months then completely faded away. Your rankings may drop or you may have more competitors than before. There are a lot of always changing variables.

    ok - it was actually just a big downtime. I made another sale off of that site. It was just strange to see nothing happen for over a week, out of nowhere!
