| Users did not notice your ad or were not interested in it. | Try other ad formats. If the situation does not get better, chances are the ad topic is not relevant to your audience. Try another one. |

Got clicks but no actions
| Likely reason | Solution |
|---|---|
| It takes time to decide whether to purchase a product or service. Such a situation may happen to travel or finance products (e.g. flight tickets or credit cards). The same works for electronics or premium apparel. | Wait until your users resolve to make a purchase, or focus on promoting products not too serious to think over (e.g. small things from AliExpress). |
| Your ad does not correspond to what a user sees on the website. Say, you promise gigantic discounts but the advertiser website does not mention one. You may manage to attract users and make them click the link only to get disappointed and leave the website without having made any purchase. | Be careful with your ad content and only promise what the advertiser can deliver. |
| Problems on the advertiser's side (e.g. unfriendly website UI, expensive shipment, inconvenient payment methods). | Check advertiser websites before promoting them. Put yourself in a prospect's place: would you buy anything on the website you promote? If you do not like the website, your audience's opinion is likely to be the same. |
| You tackle mobile traffic but the program does not track actions on the mobile website or in the app. | Only choose programs that support tracking on the mobile version of the advertiser website and in the application. Check out such programs How to find mobile-friendly programs: go to Admitad Store and filter in Mobile website tracking and Mobile app tracking. |
| Problems with action tracking in an affiliate program. |
If the action is not reflected in the reports, see if the program might be failing to track actions. You can do this by checking the Latest action metric on the program page. It displays the date and time when the last target action on the program was performed; it takes into account the traffic of all publishers who work with the program.
