Hi, I'm new to internet marketing and Adwords so I was wondering if anyone has come across my same "mystery".
I checked the amount of clicks for my site on Adwords and for today 1st of April it showed 39 clicks for $19.00.
The strange thing is that the affiliate site I'm working with said 0 clicks. So I logged in my site server and it also said I hadn't had any clicks for today. #*$!
Can someone please explain why?

You better make sure your ads are going to the right place; that'd be the first thing I'd check.

The links seem to be working fine. I double check every time before activating the campaign. If that's what you mean.

Hello maui,

I can't speak to how affiliate sites do (or do not) report stats, but the following page from the AdWords Help Center may well answer your question for you:

Why don't my web logs or third-party click auditing software match my AdWords report?

Thank You. That was pretty helpful. So there is no need to think they're ripping me off?

Who is "they" ?

The thing is, nobody here can diagnose your issue, because we can't see it. If, as you say, everything is set up correctly, then you need to contact either Google or your affiliate network or both.
