Click discrepancy

Hey guys, just a quick one.

I've noticed some massive click discrepancies in some of my campaigns, here is an example.

Single offer broken into 4 campaigns:

Decisive:

Carrier/App: 166
Carrier/Site: 2
Wifi App: 340
Wifi Site: 182

202:

Carrier/App: 208
Carrier/Site: 19
Wifi App: 329
Wifi Site: 181

Aff network:

All: 217

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Thanks

What country are you targeting?
Where is your tracking server located? Is it VPS or Shared hosting?
Are those smartphones / features phones?

Ok, looks like the main discrepancy is between your network and 202.

Two things to check:

1) Is your server slow? Check these threads - http://stmforum.com/forum/showthread...re-They-Happen and run some tests to rule that out.
2) Are your network detecting a lot of your clicks as coming from a different geo? Check with your network if you're getting a lot of clicks redirected.

Thanks Caurmen, I'll give these a try

I checked my server stats and it seems that Decisive is sending me 60% of traffic from outside the geo! (and that traffic thus being redirected).

Has anyone else had this issue with Decisive or other networks?

I think a lot of it depends on the databases used... there are several providers of mobile geo-detection and if the networks database (which is likely inferior?) disagrees with that from the traffic source... clicks shall bleed!
