Generating clicks but NOT revenue
Looking at your reports you might have wondered why you have generated a lot of clicks, but you don’t see any revenue generated.
Being an affiliate using the Shopzilla Publisher Program, you make money online on a per-click basis. However, if your website visitors click on a Shopzilla ad on your website, but then, do not click on a product listed on a Shopzilla site, Shopzilla does not pay affiliates for those clicks. While this may occur from time-to-time, we encourage you consider your ‘effective Earnings per Click’ (eCPC) based on a meaningful sample of click activity (such as 500 – 1000 clicks).
Revenue generating activity occurs when the users you refer to Shopzilla redirect from product offer listings to the online retailer listing those product offers.

Or perhaps the Shopzilla tracking isn’t working properly.
Having hundreds of clicks yet no commission, I tested the links myself. I know I clicked through to the retailer’s site yet still, not a penny in commission.
It doesn’t matter whether the url has a placement ID or not, whether it points to the homepage or is a deeplink, nothing is being reported to me. I understand the reporting is not realtime, which is why Ive waited nearly 2 weeks since my initial tests.
I suggest someone looks into this asap.
