The tap turns off WTF? (13)

The tap turns off WTF?

I've had several campaigns running which I have optimized at every stage. I put a lot of careful work into the tweaks.

They were all in profit and producing steady income each and every day.

Then, this Monday, every campaign stopped converting. Not ONE conversion!

This is really strange ....

Information on the traffic source?

Name some more variables they may cause this..

they with the same offer, same advertisers, same network? There usually is a connection, ive had this happen before and caught it within a few hours. It wasn't tracking properly on the advertisers end

Sorry dudes, painted an incomplete picture.
Traffic source was POF going to NB.

could be that something with the tracking is messed up, the advertiser scrubbing or you saturated your target demo on pof

Was there a mass newsletter sent recommending your campaign (offer and traffic) to 1000s of affiliates?

No man, they were all picked by me over time. I don't jump to network emails. Don't trust the hype. When I'm spending my money on campaigns I like to do the choosing and research.

I think what the Russian means is did a big very aggressive network recently send out a newsletter to tell everyone to get onto offer X, Y and Z right now because it's a certainty for making lots of money fast? Perhaps your offers are being tested by a larger than normal volume of desperate/hopeful affiliates right now.

Is see ... my apologies for misinterpreting that.

Dont know. Is the short answer to that.

It could well be the seasonal increase in volume or any number of factors really. I'll keep plodding nomatter what. Already have some new campaigns under way to take up the slack.

Keep chipping away at the rock.

Keep in mind the next 30-45 days things are going to be really screwy. Always at this time of year on standard affiliate offers the click costs go up and the conversions drop. But with that said if it went to 0 that sounds like the pixel fell off to me.

I guess I'll never really know what happened Jason. Just glad to report that, although I changed nothing, it's all started to work again.

Don't mind admitting it was a bit 'hairy' for a while.
