Being in India, it is a bit difficult to get approved by affiliate networks in first go. Due to time differences it is difficult to catch hold of someone at the affiliate network office. I personally try my level best to get approved by an affiliate network. I stay up late at night to call USA/Canada and get my account approved. There are many reasons for doing this but the main reason is TESTING. Again, there are various forms of testing but the main thing here is to check whether you are actually getting paid for all your leads.
There is something called scrubbing. Many people complain about this but I always thought that its not true. Affiliate networks cannot steal our money. Stealing money means that if you make 5 leads from a program, the affiliate network will show only 3 in your account. The money earned by other 2 leads goes in to your affiliate network's pocket. I am not saying that this happens for sure but some strange things since 2 days now make me think that something like scrubbing does exist.
I am promoting an offer and with the old network I made around 12-14 sales per day. Just for testing purpose, I started promoting the same offer from another network. The sales since that day have become 25-27. This is more than double than my previous network without any other changes. Now I feel bad as I might have lost so much money. Can this be coincidence, was my previous affiliate network really stealing my money? Has this ever happened to you? Please share.
