Inactive affiliate

The click was sent by the affiliate, who has the status other than Active in the Affise system.

Inactive offer

The click was sent for the offer, which has a status different from Active. Also, this reason is shown when both an offer and an affiliate are not active.

Disabled affiliate

The click was sent by the affiliate who does not have access to the offer, or who was disabled.

Overcap

The click was sent to trafficback because the cap was reached and the overcap option is enabled.

Non-unique clicks

The click was sent to trafficback because the Send hosts only option is enabled. When it is enabled, only hosts are sent to the main tracking URL.

Duplicate Clicks Threshold

The click has been sent to trafficback because the Duplicate Clicks Threshold option is enabled.

Mistargeting*

The click was sent and it does not match the targeting restrictions of the offer, or there were no suitable targeting groups or traffic is blocked by the enabled Click-level Anti-fraud checkbox in the offer settings.

Undefined

You can see this reason in Advertisers/Offers/Affiliates slices of the Statistics. The reason marks the traffic, which:

  • came for an advertiser/offer/affiliate, that you deleted from the system.

  • came for an advertiser/offer/affiliate, that does not exist in the system. For example, your affiliate uses an offer ID of a format other than what Affise requires.

* Possible mistargeting reasons are:

  • Mistargeting: Click-level Anti-fraud

  • Mistargeting: IP

  • Mistargeting: Sub1 & sub2

  • Mistargeting: Sub

  • Mistargeting: Sub is empty

  • Mistargeting: Mobile carriers

  • Mistargeting: Brands

  • Mistargeting: Browsers

  • Mistargeting: OS

  • Mistargeting: Connection type

  • Mistargeting: Devices

  • Mistargeting: Cities

  • Mistargeting: Regions

  • Mistargeting: Country

It is a priority list. If a click didn't meet several elements of a targeting group, it is not recorded for several reasons. Instead, the reason is shown according to this list.
