Two months to fix a landing page typo that killed my affiliate income

In February I noticed my click through rate dropped from 4% to under 1% overnight. Took me a week to realize the checkout button on my review page said "Buy Now" but linked to the wrong product page. Then it took another 7 weeks to get the affiliate network to actually update the link on their end. Their support kept saying it was fixed but it wasn't. I lost about $800 in commissions during that window. Has anyone else dealt with affiliate networks that just refuse to acknowledge their tracking links are broken?

Track every click with your own analytics before you even send them the link, then screenshot the proof and send it to their billing team not just support. That's the only way I got a broken link actually fixed in under a month.
