Clicks But No Conversions on Affiliate Campaigns, Domain Flagged as Malware

[amreshk005]

I’m running affiliate offers through a tracker and sending traffic from a major adult ad network. My URLs are accepted and I’m getting clicks, but conversions are not coming through. Recently, my domain was flagged for malware detection, although it’s now approved. Has anyone faced similar issues? How do you handle domain flagging and maintain conversions in this setup? Any advice on preventing or resolving this problem?

Yep, been there—domain flagging can kill performance fast, even if you’re technically compliant. once a domain gets flagged (especially in adult traffic), trust drops on both the user and platform side, and recovery doesn’t always mean your conversions will bounce back.
a few things that help: rotating clean domains regularly, using a solid cloaker (if you’re running grey), and keeping your lander load speeds fast and lightweight to avoid tripping scanners. Also, double-check your tracker setup—sometimes broken postback or pixel fires give the illusion of zero conversions when there are actually tracking mismatches.
if you’re open to testing traffic from another angle, ActiveRevenue offers CPC and CPM traffic across adult-friendly sources, and we’re happy to work with trackers and landers that are already in place. Could be worth a split test to see if your issue is platform-specific or more technical.

This has been occurring a great deal. Much of this is the result of the types of tracking you are using, cloakers, and some of it has to do with who you have links to and from. Detectors also don't like URL shorteners. There are other reasons also, like known black hat practices and black hat associations, etc.

You can resolve these issues with the companies that have flagged you. We've had a dozen or so vendors wanting to list in our resources that have had to make some site changes to get past these situations. Most of the browser guards out there will work with you to resolve the issue(s).
