Hey. I got a quick question.
I setup a campaign with an ad network and they rejected by campaign (fortunately) because the offer URLs after the pre-lander were returning 404 errors. I checked the offers on my end via HideMyAss in the Geo I was targeting and I noticed the 404 errors on MULTIPLE offers with that specific network.
Wondering if this is a common issue?
I was running the campaign on another network and got conversions. However, I noticed my conversions got cut once I started driving more traffic. There's no impression caps so I'm wondering what's going on. I messaged my affiliate manager, and he basically says that everything is fine...
Just wondering if any of you have experience this before and if it's quite common.
Another member has reported similar phenomenon in this thread:

"The downtime percentages: 40%, 80% and one offer that had 100% downtime"
He was monitoring several offers using https://www.site24x7.com/.
Which makes me think it may be time to start monitoring offers myself in the same way. You're encouraged to do the same.
Makes me wonder whether it's due to an issue with the affiliate link (thus the aff network) or if it's the offer owner's site being down. It may help to present your findings to your AM if you do decide to use a site monitor, so they could potentially do something about it. It's just silly to be losing visitors like that, not to mention unfair to us affiliates.
