everything was running fine.. then i check my stats & i wasnt getting conversions.
I check my pages & they load fine but when i go to click thru to the offer... Its dead, nothing!
can that be anything else other than my host sucks?
What you mean by 'DEAD' ?
You see offer page? Your host not redirecting ? There is no link on page to click?
Hmm - have you checked with your AM to see if the offer is still OK? Sounds a bit like there might be a problem at that end.
Yup! they said offer was down for a bit.
talk to my am he said they will credit me on the next invoice
Is there anyway to monitor that for the future?
Or is that how Networks scrub leads?
Or was the offer really down?
That's not a tactic by networks, if it was there would be a veritable shit storm - the networks won't get any money if the offer is down either...
For offer monitoring you can use uptime monitoring tools. Typically you would use these if running volume where 10 min of downtime can cost you a lot.
Pingdom for example can be used to add a probe that monitors the offer URL, which emails/sms's you if it goes down.
You can do similar things with the affiliate link though you need to make sure geo-redirection is off or it can cause issues.
Monitis.com and set up your tracking links as separate monitors.
For $10 a month you get email and sms updates if smth goes down.
Well worth the $$$.
