stange tracking results

    I am trying to figure out what's going on with my clicks. To make it simple to understand.. lets say I have 100 clicks (hops) and I list them by tracking code.

    I see everything is normal, but I have one that doesn't have a tracking code. As far as I know everything has a tracking code.

    But If I list by publisher, I can see where that one none tracking code was pointing to. Is someone trying to strip off the tracking code, thinking I won't get credit for a sale or something? Or is it just clickbank being buggy?

    Tracking code is not mandatory. If you don't specify ?tid=something in the hop link it will not be there.
    It's also possible that someone for whatever reason constructed your hoplink and navigated to it. There is no way someone can harm your sales this way.
    I have a system that makes sure there is always a tracking code. Yet once in a while I see a sale without one. Could be a glitch in CB tracking system. No big deal. Chances of that happening are less than 0.2% in my case.

    Thanks, I didn't think it would cause a problem, just thought it was weird to see.

    Me too, i also get on average 6-8 daily hops without a tracking code. yet every single of my ad is linked to a unique tracking code...Seems like this happens to everyone. Probably happens when the clicker's conection is lagging and clickbank is unable to detect from where did the click occur.

    Yep I get the same thing roughly 4-5 per day with no tracking code listed in the analytics.
