Do CPA networks rip people off??

Alright alright, so I will wait and see what happens until i get atleast into the triple digits of clicks lol, but could someone explain the post made by tankall a little more?
 
I am getting an EPC of $.02 and this is the best I have gotten so far, is that normal??
 
You can't expect to get conversations out of 12 clicks.. When it goes over 1000 clicks and no conversations, then it's time to look for another network :p
HUGE LOL @ "conversations"
@op there two possibilities of what r happening here...
1.Your ass is getting shaved..
2.Your asss is REALY getting shaved
I think for ur case its best to assume your undergoing phase 2:)
 
Meh i'm tired okay?! :D

tankall's post basically means that there are some affiliate tracking systems that can be/have been hacked by other affiliates that wish to steal your sales. Other networks, that are not "honest", have systems in place to "redirect" so many clicks or conversions on affiliate offers. Therefore, when you actually have 10 conversions, your stats will only show 3 or 4.

There are ways to find out what is happening to your clicks/conversions, but I would do one of two things first:

-signup for a new network & test your offer with them

OR

-send more traffic and monitor your stats VERY carefully.

MY personal favorite: DO BOTH
 
I don't know if you've noticed but the whole Internet is full of thieves.
 
Unless you're seen as a valuable advertiser to a network, if you even give a hint to the company that you're a newbie, or of they see you promoting at cl something, they will let you build up and break you down. They will shave your leads and ban your account. The only way to make sure that this doesn't happen is to work with companies owners of which you know personally or with an AM who has been in a company long term.
 
And it's the same rule in real life too. If you're not an asset to someone, you're good as dead.
 
Most networks will shave some of the leads. Some do it more often than the others though.
 
This might be a dumb question, but here goes, does anyone have a good way to really track conversions or are we at the mercy of the CPA networks??
 
Didn't feel like reading others responses but that's too low of a number. 12 is almost nothing you need at least 100x that to know if your campaign is worth your time.
 
They all rip off .. . pretty sad but this is the reality
