What might have caused this?...

Today an offer that I have been running for over a week tracked 3 sales for prosper IDs in the backend report today although I had 134 total sales today.

I made no changes in prosper or in the backend of that particular network.

I don't know why my subids dont exist for 131 sales today.

We don't use prosper but this sounds like a normal subid tracking issue in which case:

Go to your network, pull a subid report and check that the subids exist. If they do exist then somethings fucked with the way that prospers pulling the data, or the networks API.

If they dont exist, then either the network isnt tracking the subids correctly or prosper isnt tagging the traffic correctly. At this point you can swap one of your aff links for a broken link, click the link and when the page doesnt load, check the url in the browser bar to check that prospers tagging the subids correctly.

If the problems with the network then you might need to get a bit pushy to get them to investigate thoroughly. We had a similar issue with a DT network and it took about 4 weeks for them to fix it - kept denying the prob was on their/DTs side.

I've had the same prob's w/ DT tracking. Usually there is an alternate method to track... a separate GET variable.
