Interesting affiliate question,,,,
I belong to both shareasale and recently linkshare. For a year or more I have been using an affiliate on shareasale for my hotel links in my tourist site.
I was always surprised I got very low clicks, and only one single sale from them. Normally I would get only 1 or 2 clicks a day.
Well, I just started using a great affiliate with linkshare. I have only maybe 1/5th the amount of links on my site with them.
Yet as of today, for only 4 days of this month, I already have had 48 clicks!
No sales yet but I don't expect any until a few hundred clicks. So that seems to indicate one of several things.
1. The other affiliate is shaving, which means faking the amount of hits you get so they keep sales from you.
2. Shareasale itself shaves.
3. Their tracking does not work right.
I do get good clicks and sales from other sponsors on shareasale, so I don't think they are doing anything wrong. Can an individual sponsor on those programs somehow shave clicks?
