How long is the lag time between someone purchasing via an affiliate link to when the purchase registers in the LinkShare reports? I know I have some purchases that were made several days ago but no reported sales. The impressions and clicks are climbing but no sales showing.
I am wondering if the sales lag like the lagtime between purchasing and getting a receipt from iTunes???
Thanks for any insight. Mike
LinkShare's tracking technology has never relied on pixels or cookies. There has always been concern that pixels and cookies are at risk of browser failure, 3rd party cookie deletion, or rejection due to security settings – ultimately affecting your affiliate payments.
LinkShare has about a 3 to 5 day lag for their sales reporting and a few hour lag for their click and impression tracking.

TradeDoubler is closer to 2 to 3 weeks for all of your sales to fully filter through but you will start seeing the sales after a few days.

DGM only updates their sales reports once a month.

Hopefully that helps.
