Problem is true or false, arguing about it on boards proves and resolves nothing. If it's a concern all you can really do is as someone mentioned - open your own site up then you know what's happening to the traffic and signups. If you really feel you're being shaved use someone else. For most niches there's plenty of choices and however high the % may be not everyone shaves so if you look hard enough you will find someone that doesn't.

I wouldn't call it a total waste if it leads to action. Like a trade organization.. I chnage sponsors and try to find who works out best in all regards for my sites. BUT, delivering 10K hits on that tour page still takes some effort on my part. Its awhile before I find out I've wasted my time and traffic. Traffic = $ if directed to the place.
It would be great to open up and name names. To do that really takes hard proof, even though you know in your gut you've been ripped. I've learned the hardway, some sponsors not to use. It would nice to know who not to try next...
