Affiliate Stats

[addz123]

Everyone knows I suck at putting my Bonus Codes in my CTAs.

I just want to know from people if the affiliate back end traffic stats for "clicks" or "clickthroughs" are reliable. For example, for Titan (which i heavily promote) I have stats that read something like 65 real clicks, but no real downloads or sign ups. Does this mean my lack of bonus codes is losing me all these players, or will it just be that robots and spam on my site etc force these stats to look so high.

thanks

Questions to answer your question with first up...

- If you need to ask whether the EP stats are correct I'll assume you are not tracking outbound clicks from your own site (else you could compare them yourself)... if this is the case then how do you know which your highest converting pages / links are and how you visitors got to those pages??

No downloads... well this kind of rules out your lack of bonus codes as an issue - since that stage comes next, would still recommend you get these put in place though. You did not specify a time frame for your 65 clicks, though I would suggest this is too small a sample to draw any conclusions from...

Titan stats pretty closely match my outbound clicks stats - so my vote would be for 'as reliable as any program' for their tracking (though you'll undoubtely hit tracking issues at some point down the line with one program or another!).
