And it's good to know realistic ratios so you can actually calculate properly what your traffic is worth. Admittedly, every affiliate should be doing that on his own, but most don't and it would be nice to see all affiliate programs displaying realistic stats.

No, I understand and that's exactly what I mean.
So if I count 100% of your clicks does that mean i'm not shaving your joins?
And if i'm counting all your clicks and shaving your joins is that better than counting 20% of your clicks and not shaving your joins?
I guess I ask because you said that counting all of the clicks means that nothing "shady" is going on... seems like an odd way to make sure you are getting paid for your sales since it's not a pay per click program. What if a program just said "we dont fuck with counting your clicks"... does that mean something *really* shady is going on?
Best way to calculate your $$$ with a program? Count your own clicks and add up the $$ made with the program then divide and come up with your own real independent cost per click... ANYTHING other than that is guesswork.
