it is amazing how few people actually understand the nature of his post.
the point is not that hits are not being counted, that can be for thousand if not tens of thousands of variables. the point is they are not being counted the SAME for the two seperate affiliate codes.
here is a simple example.
say i drop 10,000 (ten thousand) marbles out of my second story window into a large bucket being held by my partner, some will miss, some will bounce out, alot will get caught in his huge bucket. say a total of 7,500 marbles stay in the bucket.
now say i collect all 10,000 marbles run back up the stairs from the same window and drop them all again. this time a LARGE portion of the marbles do not stay in the bucket, this time i only collect 3,000 marbles in the bucket. after close examination i notice someone has replaced my first bucket with a second bucket, this one filled with giant holes.
same type of marbles, same window, same method of dropping them, two different buckets, one complete bucket, one with large holes in it.
this is the point he is trying to make. not the fact that all the marbles did not land in the bucket, but the fact that the first bucket caught a hell of alot more marbles then the second bucket. that is the problem, both buckets should catch roughly the same amount of marbles. but when one of the buckets has a bunch of holes in it, well, it hardly stands a chance.
