I guess it was the guy who sent him last and as most of the sign ups are rejoins it seems the affiliates are getting a good deal.

Tracking is a tough one. If you track the first person to send it you might be hurting the last guy, if you pay the last guy, you hurt the first guy.

And if you please both of them how about the guy in between the first and last?

Think it through, we can only pay one guy. The guy who does the best preselling should be the one who gets the most sales. Which is why honest review sites do so well.

But with it all being even, this time A is the last, next time A will be the first. What you win on one you lose on the other.

Come up with a better system and make millions selling it.
