I am promoting a few merchants on Adwords, few days back I started a new ad campaign, today i checked the stats, first I checked the adwords stats, but was disappointed by seeing 3,000+ impressions and 0 clicks, then i logged in to my CJ account, I saw 9 sales worth 171$ and 31 clicks to the merchant which i promoted through adwords.

Y isn't google tracking the clicks for that ad? google missed to track 31 clicks but tracked the impressions.

My all of other ad groups are working fine, but don't have any clue about, I feel like advertising for free :)

Pawas, the two things that occur to me are that, since stats for impressions and clicks are not necessarily updated at the same time, the stats for clicks may be delayed. Or, since all clicks are filtered before being delivered, the system may have found these clicks to be 'suspicious' in some way, and has not charged you for them, nor delivered them to your stats.

pawas,

Are you using a landing page for this merchant? Any chance you've been picked up by one of the search engines and are enjoying free traffic?

Also, most CJ merchants have 30+ day cookies so you may have some returning visitors coming back to make purchases. Good for you either way.

Thay is impossible, because this is the first time I am promoting that merchant.

today i see update in clicks, but it shows only 6 clicks.

Maybe you are right , google may have determined it as suspecious clicks, does it shows the fault of google tracking system, i am also an Adsense publisher, if i am giving sales to the advertiser then Why google isn't paying my for those clicks , and also google will take my account to watch list on bases of suspecious clicks, which may have converted into sales.

Another theory for you...1 click to the merchant through adwords could result on many clicks within the merchant site. Does CJ just track the incoming click or each click within the merchants site? I know amazon reports on every click the visitor makes during their visit, not just the initial click.

frequent, this doen't work like amazon, amazon tack each click on any link witin the amazon site.
But its different with CJ, CJ shows 1 click for 1 visitor, whether he clicks 100 times on the merchant site.
