Why don't I earn anything on all my clicks?

One of the most common questions we get to our support is how the account balance could be 0, even though banners are up visitors are clicking.

The answer is simple. Our advertiser pays for conversion, in other words when someone clicks an affiliate link or a banner and then, on the advertisers website, place an order and completes the checkout or signs up for a subscription (Sales or Leads).
You can see what commission is available for a certain advertiser by reading their program description.

What is Clean links?

Clean links is a technique to link to an advertiser with "regular links", example directly to http://example.com instead of http://click.adrecord.com/?p=19&c=235.
To be able to measure traffic and sales with that regular link you need to put our clean-links-code on your site. You can get the clean-links-code from the page where you get your affiliate-link, just check the button for HTML-code and then the button Clean Links.

You just need to add the clean-links-code once on your site, and the script will then determine if you have some more links to different advertisers that you have been approved for. The script will also change your regular links to affiliate links in the exact moment when a visitor clicks on the link.

Best practise is to place the clean-links-code in one of your websites template files, or in the blog-template, and it will load on every page on your website or blog.
When you have done that, please try to click one of your links and make sure you can see the clicks counting in the dashboard.

What is tracking time?

The tracking time describes the acceptable length of time between a click and a conversion, that still counts and trigger the commission.

Most common is a tracking time for 30 days, which means that when a visitor clicks a link or a banner on your website they need to complete their conversion within 30 days for it to trigger your commission.
The channel or website with the latest click in time of the conversion will get the commission.

Why can't I see the clicks counting?

We measure clicks in realtime, however it might take a few minutes for our servers to be in sync and before the number of clicks shows up in our dashboard.

Why can't I see view on my links?

We only measure views on banners, which means you wont see how many of your visitors that have viewed your links. On the other hand you can easily see how many who have clicked them.
