We track IP's, I could display them. But I would rather not hit the DB to make extra queries when they aren't important.
If the point of all this is to make you convert better / get more sales. Then it would make way more since for you to track and filter your own traffic, before it reaches the sponsors.

With all due respect you have no understanding of what is going on here.
How do i know what makes me convert better with out knowing where my signups are coming from. You say it would make more sense for me to filter track my own traffic before it gets to you, etc... ok, site xxx sent me 3000 hits and 300 of them clicked the link to your site. i got 500 hits from google, 50 of them clicked your link, i did some tgp skim 1000 for $4 i got 2,000 of them, 200 clicked your links, i bought traffic and traded whatever from 20 more sites etc.. and this was for one site, i have 10 more etc...
So what if i bought 2000 hits from site 1 and only 50 of them clicked your link but 2 of those 50 people signed up and then say i am paying $500 a week for another traffic source and i get 500 of them to click your links but none of them signup, how would i know this ?
Am i suspose to add up all my cost for the week from all my traffic and then deduct that from my sales and be happy if their is a profit ???
How can evaluate which of my banners does better with out knowing which one gets the most signups, just because 1 gets more hits than the others doesnt mean that will be the same for signups.
How would adding one more field on the stats page to show the ip, that you logged anyway, really affect your servers ?
it is very important to have ips shown for affiliates to be able to know exactly what makes them money and what doesn't.
