Maybe that's why sponsors shave -- some affiliates cheat. Lord knows how many sponsors went tits up because of rampant cheating. I'm sure many early per click sponsors died because they didn't use proxyguard against PPC cheaters. While I don't condone and approve of what PIBcash or Dollars4all (and other alleged shavers) supposedly did, I do understand why some sponsors cross the line from scrubbing to shaving.
Given the recent VISA changes will start hitting home come March or April 2004, I'm afraid "revelations" of ALLEGED shaving will become more common.
