I don't promote them, no fanboy, but assuming that a program is shaving just because you have ZERO signups is bullshit. If you do 1:200 for a year with several signups a day and suddenly go to 1:12000, it's time to ask questions, but your conversion rate seems to be pretty steady

So, in your opinion, zero sign-ups is not necesarilly considered shaving? traffic-wise, obvious?

I think this is a very important tool in the wm's hands, how can you prove that a sponsor is doing it or not? if you're consistently making, let's say 1:300 and the next period 0:5000, what will be the first thought that'll go through your mind? what else would you need to find answers? Sometimes, I agree, there might be huge fluctuations but when something like this happens, who will help us?
