Big Problem Guys.... some advice would be great :)

Hey, well today, on a certian network, my earnings where just over $800, with 5k clicks, and over 800 leads, then i refreshed the page, and now my earnings for the day are at $632 and my month total has droped by $200, but i still got the same number of leads and clicks..... wtf is going on??

Has this ever happaned anyone before... I have already emailed my AM, just want to see if its happened before and for what reason.

seems like shaving. Do you have any other traffic counter installed on your site or it is just the data from your affiliate company. Sometimes they make mistakes but it really seems like shaving. Also tell us which is the network.

Ok, the problem was due to the advertiser, the offers where conversions too much... heres the email I got.

"Another note to pass on concerns offer #2103, [Submit] OnlineConsumerRewards - Argos UK. The advertiser had a glitch with their campaign yesterday/today, causing leads to be recorded when they should not have been (conversion rate was more than double the normal rate). They have identified the issue and the invalid conversions were scrubbed off. On our end we addressed the issue by keeping the erronous leads in the system and reducing the payout appropriately."

So I have lost $300 in the space of 2 days... fuck that! lol.

Seems your answer is solved, but still a bummer. Shaving is part of the game, whether it's a true glitch or not, who knows. But it seems you are doing well, despite a temporary setback. Take your lumps and push forward, no sense complaining about split milk.

Shaving only makes sense really. I agree. Sorry dude.

Yeah, that happens in most network\offers im working with.

Thanks guys for the replys, but its still a shitter, to see over $800 in my account, now down to $632, well nearly $700 now tho lol.

Yup this used to happen to me all the time on a unnamed network sucks but nothing you can do
