It doesn't seem to matter if I get 300 clicks or two. I haven't made a single sale with shareasale since I started promoting again. The reason I stopped before was that sales just stopped, as if someone flipped a switch. I joined one merchant and made two sales in the first week. After that, zero. As if the merchant, or shareasale, had turned off the tracking. I've since had highly niche-related links clicked hundreds of times without a single sale. I used to love shareasale because it was the only parasite-free affiliate network. I never made a lot of money but I regularly made sales. However, now I have literally hundreds of highly targeted links and no sales for months, so I now want to ask DIRECTLY - Can a merchant remove tracking code so that the initial click is registered but not the resulting sale? If so, is this something shareasale can check? Does shareasale ever remove an affiliate's tracking code before point of sale or turn it off?
