If they are reporting free signups, then that's the reason.
We don't track the free signups (which get 10 mins free) on our new VOD sites, but only when the customer pays. We do track raw/uniques of surfer hits though, but a signup is just that - $ spent, of which you get a 20% cut.
One thing to know about VOD sales is the income per member initially doesn't seem much, because the member buys small amounts of minutes at the start, but then we see massive leaps all the way up to our high-end pricing (690 Minutes for $49.69) and they just keep coming back. With 20% rebills for the life of the member our VOD sites are fantastic money spinners for our affiliates.
