1:800 join page is what a lot of people see for TGP/MGP traffic. A size 7 "Download free trialers" link will obviously get you different numbers than "Click here and get your membership".

The first page and 2nd page numbers you see are exactly what's counted inside the system. A click on the exit console is counted as an *ADDTIONAL* unique click since we treat it as a unique product. Nothing's changed or enhanced to make the numbers look any different from what they really are.

Some sponsors count 2nd page in the first place and never even display first page uniques. Others make clicks magically dissapear so the ratios look better. Take the time to install a Perl/PHP click counter, count your own outgoing clicks, compare them with sponsor stats. Then decide which sponsor gives you the best $/click ratio.
