Saturday I had my first profitable day with AM. Ran ads with a few networks (adwords, ysm, adcenter, adbrite) and had a really great conversion rate. Was something like 30%, and closer to 50% on some of the more targeted keywords. Then Sunday happened. NO conversions. Same ads, same offer, about the same ctr etc, but not a single conversion. I get home and check again tonight, and once again zero conversions today. Is that normal? Does this happen often? I just didn't think it would be that volatile.
Frustrated w/ no conversions

Yeah, being a noob myself, I had to realize this early on. Just gotta roll with it and keep a close eye on things.
Ew, shaving. The beauty of being an advertiser, they do whatever the fuck they want.... Assholes.
Or you can have very very very bad luck, but I doubt that's the case.

yes, that is an odd trend that many of us have certainly seen. You get all excited get a few conversions the first day, then nothing.....Ive never been able to quite explain it either.....just the other day i started something, and had 7 clicks and 3 conversions, then it turned into 55 clicks and 5 conversions, i dunno man.......
I'm a newbie and I'm experiencing the same. I'm sending a few hundred clicks per day to a COPEAC email submit. The first week it converted at 30% (which was a ROI of almost 200%), but then it dropped to 5% overnight (which is a loss of 75%) 
I asked my AM for help and she says they're investigating it.

I've had numerous problems with email/zips at Copeac and others. My AM's have "looked into it" but nothing ever changes.
Its obviously the advertisers screwing over the affiliates and not the networks (at least I hope so). But it is the responsibility of the networks to tell the advertisers that shaving isn't acceptable and to actually enforce it.
So far I haven't seen any network attempt to do so...
Well, it wasn't CJ, and it wasn't just a zip or email submit. I did finally get ONE freaking conversion last night, but I have scaled the traffic back. Don't know what to do. Trying to decide between tossing the campaign or not. I guess I could A/B the offer with the same offer from another network. Think that might change anything?
Testing offers from different networks is always a worth a try. (depending on your budget) if you can continue to test and tweak your LP and ad copy, I'd do so.
As for my last post, I always feel bad about using Copeac in my examples. Aside from shitty email/zips (which are at every network btw) COPEAC has been great to me.

Traffic fluctuates, but as it was said earlier, it's normal unless you're going from 100 leads a day to 0. I would maybe pull the over and send that traffic to something similar from a diff. network. You never know- maybe you are getting hosed.
