Is Voluum misleading!? Click Test (8)

---

So, I've tested it several times and it always adds some extra visits.

I created a new campaign and opened it 10 times in new tabs. Voluum shows me 17 (!!!) visits. Watch in HD:



Those stats are useless for me and there is still no feature to show only unique clicks, who cares about raw.

Any alternative which have system similiar to Flows like in Voluum and supports unique visits/clicks?

FunnelFlux supports unique visits / clicks and has the best flow system of any other tracker. Check this screenshot:



All is created visually. Here's a thread where you can get more information:

That being said, the "bug" you showed in the videos has nothing to do with Voluum. It's a known bug from Chrome, and it's there since 2010. I know, that's scary!
Check this thread:

Many developers complain about it.

It never happens if your link is loaded due to a click - it only happens when the URL is entered directly in the address bar...

But of course, I strongly recommend you to switch to FunnelFlux - we have a better and faster tracker! Just enter FunnelFlux in the search bar of STM and you'll see what fellow affiliates think about it.

Hmmm, that is weird. If you go to the live visits section is it showing multiple hits from the same clickID for those?

---

Something is wrong. No idea why. I'm going to test it again tomorrow.

Makes sense.

---

There is one thing about Voluum - sometimes it really doubles the hit amounts, but later it returns back to normal numbers again. Same for conversions, sometimes it counts it twice, usually just the payout $ doubles but I have also seen the actual amount of conversions doubled. This also returns to normal few minutes later on.

I guess this is what happened in your case, Im not sure why it's happening.

As I said in my post above, it doesn't have anything to do with Voluum and there's nothing you can do about it (except trying with another browser).

It's a known bug from Chrome, and it's there since 2010: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium...etail?id=64810

It only happens when you enter the URL directly in the address bar. It doesn't happen if someone clicked a link to get to your page.

Ah, missed that part of your reply

---

But it might be possible, that you have an missing image on your site. I have written simple php counters and have seen the same issue, that the page was loaded two times.

I found out, that there was a CSS background property with a missing image. The page was loaded only one times after deletion of this CSS setting.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, I did not know the bug report before.
But I can say, that in case of redirect the second page load happens in Chrome too.
