CJ Tracking

Anyone think it's been a little "off" the past couple days?
Actually, it seems that it has stopped dead in it's tracks for me since December 30th...
500+ Clicks but no sales since that date.

Bad luck for me maybe?

My stats seem pretty normal.

Depends on the niche though - if you had a lot of holiday and post-holiday-deals traffic, people may be all "shopped out" by now.

I figured it was just bad luck...

It happens.

Predictable income isn't necessarily a feature of affiliate marketing!

A lot of traffic has seasonal ups and downs - diversify with sites that cover the "off" season for the rest.

Well this sucks.
My 3 day EPC dropped like a ton of bricks from $5.35 down to $0.15
No sales since December 30th. But the traffic has increased.

GRRRR!!!!

A week is nothing to panic about, but why not contact the aff. manager(s) for the merchant(s) where you have seen this big dropoff? They can tell you if it matches purchasing trends on the site.

Or, if you don't think your links are tracking, make a test purchase.

An increase in traffic means nothing unless you know the quality and intent of that traffic. One visitor with intent to purchase is better than 100 curious or "just looking".
