When CTR and CPC improve but commissions stay flat, measure commission yield and diagnose traffic, bridge, merchant funnel, and tracking before more ad optimization.
Translated affiliate pages can rank and earn clicks while commissions break. Audit geo eligibility, redirect param survival, and cookie Path before you publish.
After a clicks-vs-commissions mismatch, map every redirect hop, prove your affiliate ID survived, and separate merchant clawbacks from mid-chain tracking breaks.
Signup-wall handoff break: domain scope, session renew on auth, param strip, email/OTP and social-login variants. Diagnose with merchant new-customer flags and a DevTools hop walk.
