Hi guys,

I am approaching my first year into the biz and I still have ALOT to learn.

I was doing some spring cleaning on an old site adding new sponsors and galleries and killing the bad ones. The setup on this site is Smart Thumbs driven and it counts the clickthroughs for each sponsor. I have noticed that with many of my sponsors the clicks were in the hundreds of thousands yet the sponsors stats only credit me with a few thousand clicks(less than 10K). I realize that some sponsors only count uniques while some count join pages, but these numbers seem really, really low.

One sponsor had 293k clicks according to ST, but the sponsor only claims to have received 2,400 uniques. I can tell you with certainty that my production is not 10,000%. Is this a product of shaving, zango, or faulty programming?

Needless to say, everyone of these low ratio sponsors had shit for sales. I would love to hear from experienced people if this is a standard or if I am getting screwed.
