Somebody Help Me Find The Culprit Behind My Failure
I need your help my friends.
There is something strange happening with my affiliate links and I don't know why.
I also don't know how to figure this out and how to fix it.
A few weeks after I started using shareasale links I discovered that my links were not working.
I tried to contact the shareasale support team and they didn't understand why this was happening.
They thought that I wasn't copying my links correctly but that was not the case.
If there is something that every affiliate marketer can do even with eyes closed is to copy and paste the affiliate links.
We don't make any mistakes there lol.
Here is what's happening with my links.
As you can see I have pasted my Grammarly link.
Now look at what it does after I click that inset arrow
As you can see the link instantly turns red instead of blue that means its now a broken link.
If you look closely you will see that there are more letters on the second image than on the first one but I DIDN'T edit this link at all.
Whenever I post any post with affiliate link I always test my link and this link directs to a 404 page.
This is were I was directed.
This happened today, I was trying to use my links again because since that time I discovered this I started using banners instead of links.
I also tried to use pretty links and it's just the same unless if I inset the links manually.
Now the funny part is those links I typed manually and are working nicely, but they are not recording the same clicks on Shareasale as shown on pretty links.
Let me show you what I mean.
This is the shareasale clicks record.
Now look at pretty links stats you see how many clicks WPEngine and creative live got?
This is just too much. I don't understand what's going on here if you do please help.
That's not all. Last month I earned $0.40 only on shareasale. And I was OK with that but today checked my balance and it's still $0.40 after my hubby and my sister downloaded grammarly on Friday through my banners.
Now I am wondering if $0.40 is really what I earned last month or my earnings were not recorded?
Another thing is that I really do promote WA a LOT
i also started promoting my WA links on Pinterest and my pins are doing well.
The pretty links stats are also showing a lot of clicks
All those clicks are from the pins that I have created. But what's bothering me is that I DIDN'T get any referral from those clicks is that possible? The posts are WA posts not my own post.
You might think that some are the clicks that are recorded when I was testing my links but that's not the case here.
I didn't try to test my WA links at all.
I know it's not easy to get a referral but this is just too much.
Please help me I think someone hacked my links if that's possible if not then what/who might be the culprit behind all this?
Thank you for reading.
Your comments are desperately needed and highly appreciated.
