We sent lots of traffic to various sponsors and I've noticed something with the emerging sponsors that offer free trials. We were sending constantly around 1000-2000 hits per day averaging at 10 sales per day and converting around 1:160 overall on unique hits. It was solid for 9 months.

Then the sponsor changed their stats system to one of the new, emerging, blah blah stat systems by one of the annoying board people. Since the changed, our sales stopped. I won't go into our traffic, it's the same traffic. We ofcourse contacted the owner of the program, he looked into it and told us that everything is fine with the system, every affiliate was fine, and it was only us experiencing issues. So, how come 9 months constant sales, constant conversions and since the change 0 sales.

I ofcourse dropped the sponsor. Pitty, they were our #1 sponsor and it was hard for me to change all the links.

The point is, if we weren't profitable for them, they should've told us and we'd just stop promoting them, stopping sales completely is a bad unprofessional move. I doubt we weren't profitable tho, the traffic being sent was virgin typein traffic.
