Calculate the value per click and it doesn't matter if they shave you or not.

Assuming two sponsors A and B, they both are equally as likely to pay you (you have valid references for both sponsors).

Sponsor A shaves you, but your traffic is worth $0.02 per raw click based on your tracking.

Sponsor B does not shave you, but your traffic is worth $0.01 per raw click based on your tracking.

Which one will pay you more money for the same traffic?

I'm not condoning shaving. However, evaluating sponsors in this manner is the only way to accurately measure the performance of 1 sponsor vs. another.

and yet webmasters still fall for marketing bs over and over..
we pay %80 of the 50% before the shave and the cc charges

maybye surfers are the same way still.......

this thread i started a few days ago falls along this topic of conversation
