Like it or not some programs don't seem right. Does that mean we should drop them? Probably Not. $100 is $100 no matter how screwed you got. I have no idea what factors play into things but I have enjoyed 1:30 ratios at one site for a year then suddenly the next week it goes to 1:200. Coincidence? I think not. Same site 1 year later, held steady at 1:150. I could count on it. I knew how much I was making simply by looking at clicks. It was almost an exact sience. All of a sudden.....1:600. This will be the second week at that rate. What did 10 million people suddenly get plastered by that site the same day? I doubt it. Its already an overexposed site.

Now, I don't know if errors in their system, shaving, or whatever is to blame but it makes no sense. I have switched accounts that got credit for signups only to see the ratio drop terribly. (I know old hits converting etc. but I keep up with that) I move it back my ratios return.

I truely believe everything in this world plays on numbers. (Ask casino's. They have this strategy down pat. They know how much each customer is worth on average when they walk in the door. Same with websites. They know they can pay you xxx$ per click or signup because they know exactly how many stay, their profit margin, etc.) If you get 1:50 from a certain traffic over a couple of weeks you can almost count on it later. For rates to go to shit even when hits stay exact is rediculous. I know their are just shitty weeks and these make up for the great ones we have. But when the shit hits all at once and sticks like Napalm I say something is up.

But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
