Sadly you're right about some of them. I have one which has done 1:1500 consistently for a while suddenly start doing 1:6000 just like that. A couple months prior to that amazingly there are no new rebills ad each month I would lose some rebills. Just a little guy with his MPA3 who probably decided to milk whatever he can out of his affiliates before he exits the pay site business for good.
It pisses me off the most because I realize he was probably screwing me in the past too. Another related sponsor in that niche used to convert 1:200 around the same time and their sites and tours weren't as sharp as his. I probably bought him a house over the last three years. Bastard.
It's another good reason for insisting on third party affiliate tracking. Human nature being what it is when things get tough it's all too tempting to steal from the affiliate and justify it with any one of a hundred different excuses.
