shaving is shaving
i'm sure i forgot something, feel free to ad to the list
my point is that outright click or sales shaving probably represents a much lower lost revenue amount than the other issues listed, cause a program can only shave so much before nobody will promote it cause its not profitable.
for all the bitching though, i doubt that there is a single revshare program out there that does NONE of the above.

I wouldn't call the above listed techniques for monetizing affiliate sales, "shaving." Those techniques are part of the standard model for adult affiliate programs.
What really pisses me off are the affiliate programs which selectively shave certain affiliates and the sales they send, on a case by case basis. There are plenty of them out there.
