Maybe I should quit whining and set up my own paysit, robbing affiliates and punters like everyone else? 
Have YOU ever tested this? Seriously. Do it. You'll be surprised...or maybe not. |
To be honest, I don't care how a sponsor count. Let them count 4:th page uniques or only join page filling out the form uniques. Doesn't matter to me. All that matters to me is the payout amount at the end of the month. If I'm unhappy with that amount I switch sponsor because I know what my traffic is worth.
Lots of programs will count as few hits as possible, but they don't shave the signups. This is so newbies will think WOW 1:50 this sponsor must be the best. A newbie will not understand that his real ratio might be 1:1000...
Click stats means nothing. Unless you're talking about a pay per click sponsor here? Then I understand why you're upset.
