I've been doing PPC to drive traffic to an offer for almost a month now. In the past two weeks, nothing has changed, and the offer just stopped converting. Same traffic, same ad, same offer.

The offer is not dependent on a season or a holiday, so I'm wondering what the reasons are for conversions stopping. Could anyone offer some insight on their past experience? Thanks
 


Same amount of traffic ... unless someone came along and started clicking my adds the past week.

How reliable is the publisher? I've seen publishers close down offers from one day to the next without notifying any of the affiliates.

Contact them or your rep.
 
Ya if an advertiser doesnt like your traffic they'll dump you and sometimes lazy account managers won't tell you or don't even know.
 
Sometimes verticles that don't seem seasonal have small ups and downs. For example, dating suffers in Q2. Ask your AM about the historical pattern of your niche.

In my experience, a quick email query ("Could you take a quick look please?") to the merchant usually seems to mysteriously start the conversions again. And for those that don't, I just move on if I can't fix it.
 
try your the same offer on a different network.
Its happened to me alot of times, especially lately
 
It could also be that someoen's stealing your traffic when it omes to the sales, by redirecting your affiliate link to theirs.
I'm on my laptop at the moment, so I don't have the bookmark, but I'll post it later.
It's basicaly this video of a guy showing someone actively stealing his leads with some malware.

I got the link from this forum, so maybe someone else would be nice enough to relink it here?
 
That's an interesting video. Thanks for sharing HarveyJ and MCRunning
 
do you guys know if that would just affect clickbank or other types of cpa networks also. Ive been having some problems lately with campaigns that wont convert anymore. I was wondering if this could be the problem

I'm sure, but not positive, that the same types of adware in that video will replace your aff code with the thief's for networks other than Clickbank. The adware would only need to replace the cookie on the user's computer.
