I have read a few articles about the difference between the clicks that search engines say an ad received and what the cpa network recorded. Do most cpa networks record clicks the same way and what is the method of recording the clicks?

No, affiliate networks do not record clicks the same way. Some record only unique clicks, meaning if a user clicks on an offer more than once, only one of those clicks will be recorded. Others record all clicks so an offer could receive multiple clicks from the same user. That can totally skew the EPC for an offer. You can easily determine which method a network uses by comparing your data against theirs.
