I think anyone that has been around awhile knows that any CC processing system can have leaks and can be shaved. I suspect there are some honest sponsors, some that selectively shave (depends on who you are) and then those out to fuck the world.
If I had to guess, I'd say over 75% shave or count on the leaks. To put it another way, create situations where leaks would be more common.
Of course as an affiliate and I see 0:5500 for the month on a sponsor I have to go WTF? Then I see 0:12000 and go WTF! twice. Good thing they aren't all that way!
Seems that if you build a relationship with most sponsors, your numbers get better. Some might suggest that the shave is varied? Or if you're a player, you get treated better? Of course with a sponsor you are working with, they help with selecting which ads convert the best and help with special needs for your sites.
