Offer links that have landers WITHOUT the offered product on it (4)

Offer links that have landers WITHOUT the offered product on it

My affiliate manager recommended a few offers to me...

One of which is an app install game for a certain OS and Country.

However, upon previewing the landing page using a VPN, I see that the product is NOT there...

But what IS there are other games and non-game apps.

Same thing happened with the other offers my AM recommended to me.

What is the meaning of this?

Should I just move on to a different network or simply change my AM?

Chances are that the VPN and/or agent emulator simply isn't working 100% and you were redirected to a fallback offer or a wall of offers. Did you ask your AM about it?

I have Skype her the situation and await her response.

It just didn't sit well with me knowing that this happened to two offers.

But you say that the VPN can be the problem, possibly?

Yes, the IPs used by common VPNs are limited and known so the affiliate network or advetiser can block/redirect them. They might also use different method of GEO detection - browser language settings, OS settings etc ... VPN is not 100% reliable.
