<b>Your recurring link can break silently — here's how to catch it</b>

New to tracking? A scary truth: an affiliate link can stop crediting you without any error message. The page still loads, the customer still buys — but your tracking note never gets saved, so no recurring commission ever starts.

1. The most common cause: the link is missing your affiliate ID, or has a typo in it.
2. Second most common: the customer's browser blocks the cookie, or they switch devices mid-signup.
3. Third: the program changed their link format and your old one quietly redirects without tracking.

<i>In plain English:</i> a broken link looks identical to a working one. You only notice when the commissions never arrive.

Worked example: you posted a link six months ago, got 30 clicks, zero signups. That's not bad luck — test it.

Tiny action today: click your own affiliate link, complete a test signup if free, and confirm the dashboard logs the visit. Do this for every link you rely on.
