If you can simply it to that point in terms of how much an affiliate gets paid, I am confused as to why it suddenly becomes complicated when showing stats.
As I've said a few times, you keep track of which orders are labeled as Initial Orders, and which orders are considered "Recurring". Can we see which orders are recurring now please?

The difficulties I describe relate to presenting that data in its PROPER form -- that is, the numbers that would give affiliates a TRUE indication of their traffic's value.
Of course I know it would be simple to just throw numbers into two columns.
What I'm saying is we choose NOT TO -- because it would (WE FEEL) mis-represent performance and hamper accurate traffic/revenue correlation.
But, let me remind you, darnoth, this is a policy choice we are making with regard to stats. I have put in on record (above) that, on a person-to-person basis, I will work with ANY revenue share affiliate, as closely and as forthcomingly as needed, to give them all the info they need.
I would expect my affiliates to put greater faith in what the General Manager of the world's largest single-site sponsor program tells you publicly will be the truth, than in what impersonal stats say, which I myself have admitted occasionally err*.
Let me work with you, and then you can post here whether or not I gave you what you needed.
