Somehow on TWO different accounts I somehow have made a total of 4 sales from a product called "RCFORMULA" each sale paid $3.28, if this is a product, I have never promoted it before. Has this happened to anyone else?
Maybe it's a backend sale, i.e the product belongs to the same author as another product you're promoting, and they're selling rcformula on the backend to the customer
Your cookie would not be there then though... Backend sales work by the same pub id different product #.
I had the same thing today. It's very strange. The only thing I can think of is that someone is using some kind of script to make purchases via a variety of CB links in order to "create" a fake gravity in the CB network for affiliate exposure. Otherwise it makes no sense. There's no way in hell I'd promote someone that essentially ripped off my affiliate resources page from Ranking Loophole. -Chris
Nice move ... The guy has a gravity of 71 now, built off bogus sales on unsuspecting affs. Loss leader at 60% and 3.76 payout. As soon as he gets his own fish he can bump up that selling price. Cunning little bugger
That's exactly what he did. I got a couple of sales for RCFormula too. It's the same guys that do a lot of Forex products (Automated Forex Cash, Forex Mafioso, etc...). Very smart but at the same time a little messed up.
