Been running some campaigns on cpv lab and noticed a difference in clicks recorded in cpv lab and those to the networks.

I tested out a dating offer on 3 networks

ewa
cpatank
ads4dough

When I compared clicks in cpvlab to the what showed up on networks there was a difference in clicks. ads4dough and cpatank were not soo bad (maybe %7-%15 missing) but ewa was like %30-%40 missing. On one campaign cpv lab had 937 click and ewa only showed 170ish. I tried contacting my am but didnt respond.

Just wondering if anyone else has compared clicks using cpvlab and noticed the same thing.

Im running cpvlab on a beyondhosting vps. believe its there $59.99 a month package. Im not working with a crazy amount of volume so Im sure its not me needing a dedi or something.
 


maybe u might wanna try splittesting with prosper and see...in my experience cpvlab doesnt weed out bot clicks...whereas prosper does this..
 
I also see number of clicks as reported by:

PPV source > Prosper all clicks > prosper real click > network clicks

About 20% click loss from traffic source to network. I dont want to name the add network or aff network since I didnt weed through enough data yet to lay blame on any particular party. But honestly besides split testing what can you really do?

It might also come from the users that close the pop before it has a chance to make it fully through the redirection process and fully load (about 3 seconds on my highspeed internet).
