MaxBounty: Statistic keeping between different traffic providers?

[schleprock]

Is there any reason why the clicks 7 Search says I am getting do not register on my MaxBounty statistics?

I did use a link shortener. Tinyurl.

I compared the URL I got from the MaxBounty affiliate link and the URL I got from the website my tinyurl led me to and they are identical.

So I can think of no reason the clicks are not registering unless MaxBounty is not updating (it updated fine with DNTX/Tonic traffic)
or the tinyurl is throwing off the statistics
or the traffic is not really coming from 7 Search

Is there another possibility?

This is my first PPC campaign so I don't really know a lot about it.

click loss Problem can come from slow hosting ,or traffic source robing u, or other things like this

I upgraded to tiny.cc link shortening. It tracks clicks.

I clicked my own tiny.cc url to see what the stats would say. It showed 5 clicks from 1 unique user. Exactly what I had done.

Hopefully now I can figure out wtf is going on. I certainly hope it is not 7Search or MaxBounty. I know how to use their interfaces now and I sort of like them, except for this click or no click thing. Now I will be able to do a third party verification and see what is going on.

Thanks for your help

I clicked the box on 7Search saying I would also take some mobile traffic. Could that be messing up my stats. I don't know how it would unless MaxBounty or 7 Search updates mobile traffic differently than desktop traffic.

I'll keep this thread updated until it is resolved. And I will say how it is resolved. I don't want people to think there is anything untoward on anyone's part unless there is.

Hi @schleprock, it might be also useful for you briefly browsing the following threads and posts:

Search Results for Query: 7search | Affiliate Marketing Forum | AffiliateFix

Seems that many others had similar problems like you previously.

As promised, my update. I am the one at fault.

I used the link from the "display" area from MaxBounty. It has my affiliate number in it but it is not my affiliate link.
So I will change the link to the proper link and I am sure the situation will resolve itself.

I will still drop back and let you know if it did.

I hate to leave these posts unresolved because it can make some parties look bad when they have done nothing. It seems that is likely the case here.

It could be lost anywhere.

There is the most of time a gap on clicks between the different tracking platform

Seems @schleprock must've resolved things or we would have heard back from him.
