I'm using Adcenter for the first time - trying to get some quick traffic to do some testing on a landing page.

They say they gave me 55 clicks yesterday - GetClicky says my site only had 23 visitors yesterday and none to the landing page.

They also say that so far today, I've received 26 clicks. Clicky says I've only had 8 so far, and none to the landing page.

It seems like they're blatantly making up clicks so that they can charge me... am I missing something?

I mean I fucking hate Adwords but at least they actually deliver the clicks they say they do...
 


What do you mean "none to the landing page" first of all ? Are you use several landing pages one by one or lp = actually offer page from your lander ?

Lots of clicks you see = just their bot. But in case of mine I directlinked some offer on Neverblue and it was shown tone more like 4 times more in NB tracking then it actually was.

I mean that Clicky shows that the landing page has received 0 visits - and it's only 1 LP that I'm using.

But I mean they're showing a bunch on clicks on their end - actual clicks that I'm paying for.
 
You should report this problem to their support then. It's probably tons of visits of adcenter bot for which you pay.
 
But I still don't get what means "got 23 clicks and 0 to landing page" sorry LOL, to where you got 23 clicks if not to lander ? if it was actual real visitors aside those fraud clicks then your way to LP just sucks, assuming they land on homepage, then LP.

Maybe I worded it confusingly...

23 is the number of visitors that the site as a whole had, not clicks. It's traffic from other sources visiting other pages on my site. That number is coming from Clicky.

But also according to Clicky my landing page had 0 pageviews. And Adcenter says they gave me 55 clicks - so why did I my LP not receive even a single pageview?

I'm just going to contact them to see what they say.
 
Please update on what they say for us newbs. TY

Well I sent them an email and they completely misunderstood my question. They thought I was disputing the number of clicks. "You said adcenter said 97 clicks, but as of now it says 115". No shit, more clicks come in as time goes on... that's not what I'm disputing. I'm saying you guys are reporting clicks but I haven't seen any traffic.

It turns out that for some reason Clicky wasn't tracking the page right - I set up a database to track page views for the LP and every time the page was loaded I added a record to the database. Left for a couple hours and when I came back I had like 150 records. Not sure why Clicky doesn't want to track the page right but I'm 99% sure it's a problem with Clicky not Adcenter.
