1.5 of year at WA
It would look like my report of more than 1.5 of year in WA. I've completed some classes, built 3 websites, and, actually, become a slave of my websites. I mean it takes a lot of time to follow sales that usually change weekly and if you have several advertisers there is not spare time for anything not talking about the completion of WA classes. It's about my website with sales niche. I have 2 more websites, one about Natural Psoriasis Treatment topic I know very well, and another about affiliate marketing, that I'm still learning.
The matter is, I've not gotten any commissions, zero, from my affiliate links from any of my sites. So, I pay to WA, I still pay to Facebook, I've paid to Adwords, Bing. The balance is, obviously, negative and I'm not at all Wealthy Affiliate despite I'm member of WA. I put on sale many good products with my affiliate links and I do not believe that even one crazy or not crazy visitor of my sites did not make at least one purchase. So, where is my commissions? I may assume the commissions are stolen 100%. Some thief sitting on my affiliate links and diverted harvest of them in his/her pocket. .
Well, Google analytics does not show correct data. I mean, if I compare impressions and clicks data on Google analytics data and Linkshare dashboard in one day, I see on Linkshare 30 times more clicks than on Google Analytics. I repeat, I've never seen on any reported conversions reported on my aff. links, till I installed plugin Pretty Links on the beginning of June. Reports of number of clicks on Linkshare dashboard and Pretty Links reports coinside, but Pretty Links reports show hundreds of conversions, but conversions, unfortunatelly, do not go to my Linkshare dashboard. WHY???
I KNOW THERE'RE ON WA MANY PEOPLE WHO HAS DEEP KNOWLEDGES OF WEB & AFFILIATE MARKETING. PLEASE, HELP ME TO CATCH THE THIEF, HELP ME TO GET SKILLS HOW TO PROTECT MY SITES & AFFILIATE LINKS FROM STEALING AND TO CONTINUE TO STAY ON WA. Despite anything I like WA, affiiate marketing and I do not want to leave.

Hi, Kyle, nice to hear from you. My site is https://hotcoms.net/sale-a2z, my page on Facebook is https://www.facebook.com/shayan41/. Hope you recall I asked you about this site few months ago. I, also, have 2 more sites: https://c-coms.com/natural-psoriasis-treatment & https://toolsworld.hotcoms.net/, but they do not take much of my attention for now.
I think I've risen very important topic of protection of our sites, links from hackers, thiefs, etc. whom are, unfortunatelly, abundance on WEB. As I remember, you told me our sites on WA 100% secure and it doesn't need any additional security plugins for protection. I believe you, but think my links wander outside WA network and need some additional protection. I'm pretty sure that this is not only my problem. By the way, I do not want to be mistaken, I don't see on WA classes about protection of sites and affiliate links.
I like the plugin PrettyLinks. It gives me opportunity to see relevant reports of my traffic and conversions, I've never seen before. Despite they say that their conversions might be not only sales, but, also clicks, hits, etc., I believe that huge part of my aff. links conversions are sales.
I compared my sites to the most successfull sales sites on Google, and found out that those sites have very wide niches. In such sense, there is a lot of common with, and what isn't common my site has no success.
I'm not fully understand your question where am I leaving my affiliate links. i seem you're talking about affiliate services. If so, there're: cj.com; rakutenlinksare.com; viglink.com; facebook.com. My paid advertisement is only on Facebook.
I hope very much you and the other on WA help me to solve the PUZZLE. Appreciate in advance. Thanks.
P.S. Pretty Links gives me IP addresses of visitors. There are not many who make a lot of clicks. New appears every day. Those 2 look suspicious:

This one I put just in case - it's Google Bot

I may assume IP addresses may help to solve PUZZLE. Thanks

I'm waiting for answers from Kyle and the other WA members. Got only 3 comments, and one of them from Kyle. As you may see Kyle asked me some credentials that I gladly wrote to him. I haven't heard from him since, So, I wait with hope for the help.
I read a lot of comments on some posts about leaving WA. The most recent one is comment of Bill808 on somebody's leaving WA post. He said in the comment that it's not good to leave WA, all is needed to study at WA till success will be achieved, hard work, persistance; WA is the best school, community, we must help each other, etc.. And his post-comment got a lot of comments saying that he's right, and we (WA members) should stay at WA about forever. Might be, but there're different circumstances. So, I asked Bill808 about his success in affiliate marketing. He answered that he makes websites for businesses, and he gets some modest addition to his pension. Actually, I'm not sure that it's affiliate marketing. i got curious about such business, and asked him how to, but didn't get answer. It's not so encouraging after such patetic statements, especially, that we're community and must help each other.
I'm pretty sure that topic I rose is importanf, and we must share not only successes, but failures too. Therefore, I'm surprised why my post got so few comments.
I wish everybody to be successful.
