If a program used to pay you 20 per click and then they add leaks so they pay 8 per click you'll see the 12 drop and can take action
If a program used to pay you 20 per click and they add leaks but your per click remains 20 or goes up over 20, that leak isn't your problem
Leaks only matter if they affect your $/click. Shaving only matters if it affects your $/click. And $/click is the easiest most reliable thing you can calculate.
It's math

Going for the best $/clicks where internet, the quality of traffic and the paysites itself are not static things and constantly fluctuating.
You push 100 sites right now while at the same time not pushing a 1000 others.
You cannot even possibly know where at this specific point you get the best $/click
beause results from the past don't say anything about today.
Good luck with grabbing your traffic and send it instantly and constantly somewhere else everytime $/clicks declining. Some bizzmodels aren't suitable for this anyway...
Review sites (and other types) don't select sites on $/clicks... they simply publish sites because they excist... They deserve their traffic is being received correctly. If you as a program accept traffic from affiliates, it's no more then decent to do everything possible to make sure that IF a sale comes out of that, the sale is being credited. Or don't accept affiliates and don't run an affiliate program.
People put effort in pushing specific sites at specific sponsors for whatever reason they have. If it's not based on best $/click then that their choice... You move traffic all the time... others want to build relationship with sponsor and try to constantly improve their ratios... You and your $/clicks theory don't decide for others how they want to work.
So... your $/clicks theory and moving traffic all the time doesn't apply to all situations.
So... everyone that says "could haves" and "would be's" and "posibilities" don't excist are captured in their own autistic way of thinking and working.
Even "could haves" can be calculated with maths...
With math you can also simulate situations and make calculations
and predictions...You can even calculate "could haves" . That might be just as accurate as weatherpredictions... yes...they use math for that too... but sometimes weatherpredictions are very accurate... most of the time they are pretty close.
Did you know that many companies and governments use math to make predictions
and calculations about "could haves" and "would be's"?. That they invest a lot of money and make everyday decissions based on "could haves" and "would be's".
"Could have" and "would be" calculations might not give you an exact number on what will be but denying there are "could haves" at all is just an insult to maths. It is even denying maths... Some people only want to use maths when it fits their agenda...
And... again... let's not forget... this thread wasn't about $/clicks... it was about a leak.
