Not following - it's one thing to have rebills as part of stats, but it's something else to put rebills in with signup stats... conversion stats like 1:350 is a very valuable source of information as it shows the quality of traffic. Adding rebills to those stats would pollute the stats completely, which is why signups and rebills are separated in nats. Likewise, affiliates saying, "I had 1 signup on xx/xx/xxxx, yet no income is showing" - look in detailed stats and you'll see it was a chargeback. So does that mean you should remove that signup from the stats? IMO, no, because it was a signup, but maybe the programmes sites sucked eggs and so the member charged back. Doesn't mean the traffic is any less quality.

I prefer to see signup stats, rebill stats, and chargeback stats totally separated and not mixed, cos then I get a better idea of how good my traffic is.
