Had a friend click through and download, doesn't show in my report manager

[-w-]

Howdy gang,
Starting to set up my first website, and managed to get a little flourish of traffic going. We had quite a few people click through, but no downloads show up. So, I had a friend click through, and download today, and sign up on the site. And for whatever reason, it is not showing up as a download in my report manager this Prima Network skin. Can anybody give me any advice? I have already contacted my affilliate manager, and am waiting on a response from them.

Is this a fairly common occurance? Should I drop this site like a bad habit?

I would definately contact your account manager. I'm not sure how long Prima rooms take to update stas, this could be one answer.

Or another common mistake that affiliates make when signing up is not having your friends clear their cookies on their computers. What usually happens is you tell a buddy that they should sign up at ABCpokersite. com through your link and then they go check it out.

Then a day later they go back to the site, but this time through your aff. link, sign-up and deposit. The problem is that a cookie has already been placed on their machine from their initial visit that doesn't allow them to be tracked to you.

You may want to try clearing all your cookies and setting up a "test" account to see if it gets tracked. I wouldn't neccesarily drop the site because this happened to you. More than likely there is a reason it happened.

Yeah, I thought about the cookies thing, so when I tested it with my buddy, we did everything on a new computer in the office (I work for a large builder/real estate company, so we went back into the cube farm and found a machine that had never been used).

I'm kind of baffled, because it showed up as a click, but not as a download in the Prima reports section.
