2 - second page join link only counts: One program (nameless) counts less than 10% of the hits I send, and claims it to be uniques only... unique to what, the year?
Anyway... add on your experiences and comments!

As to point 1, I've noticed the opposite effect. With a certain program I get enough sales in the first day or two to make minimum payout, then one or two over the rest of the two week period. Unfortunately, it'd be too much work for me to remove/change all the pages, so I just live with it (for now) and move on.
As for point 2, the same program I referred to above does the same thing. Counts about 1/10th of my hits. I'm assuming they count join page or 2nd page hits, but I wonder what happened to the rest of the traffic I sent.
