# Dynamic Setting = Clicks??

 * Hi,
 * I had a message today from an affiliate we’re promoting who said “We had over
   1000 clicks today but no conversions?”
 * So I took a look as to what may be going on.
 * I have ads set as ‘dynamic’ and it got me to thinking.
 * When ads use this setting, do they actually create a ‘click response’ when they
   change/rotate? If so, is this not unethical?
 * Affiliate promoters could face being banned if this were the case so need your
   assurance that this is not the case.
 * I’m only asking this question as I recall sometime back, someone else posted 
   a similar question.
 * Regards

 * Having clicks and not having conversions means nothing. That happens all the 
   time.
 * And no, dynamic mode does obviously not generate fake clicks.
    Clicks are only
   counted when someone clicks the advert (eg generates a click event).

 * Hi Arnan,
 * Well, I can categorically tell you that in one day; an affiliate reported to 
   us that that had 1000+ clicks.
 * “Can you please pause activity on the ******** program for now. I would like 
   to explore what we can do to convert you traffic. We had over 1000 clicks today
   and no sales.”
 * Looking at the stats panel that records affiliate ‘clicks’ showed nothing of 
   this activity; so we paused their banners and it stopped?
 * So what would you advise given this outcome?

 * Consider that if your adverts have external tracking they’re probably javascript
   adverts or something similar, html5 maybe… AdRotate doesn’t track those very 
   well since there is no `<a>` tag in them to track.
 * That may be what’s going wrong.
 * Having said that, if there are clicks and no conversions, that’s not something
   I can fix.
    Again, people can click adverts and not buy whatever is sold on the
   other end.
 * Assuming the quoted bit is from your advertiser – They suggest they want to explore
   options on how to convert traffic. Indicating there are indeed no conversions
   following the click. So that sort of answers your question I guess.

 * Hi Arnan,
 * Thanks for getting back to me on this 🙂
 * The thing is, there is just no way 1000+ clicks were made by ‘real’ users afterall,
   you would imagine that at last one would have bought something right?
 * And that’s just one affiliate!

 * Logically yes. But that doesn’t mean there is a problem with AdRotate or it’s
   tracking.
    Check the bot/useragent filter in AdRotate Settings > General though.
   If you have a lot of crap crawling your site that may attribute to some “false”
   clicks. Adding keywords from useragents from those bots will influence stats.
 * Otherwise I’d look for the problem elsewhere – broken checkout on the receiving
   site for example. Or inaccurate tracking on their end or something.
