If a sponsor is shaving he's going to be doing it in a way that an affiliate will never know or realise, or he's an idiot and will not be around for long.
Any programmer worth his salt can write a cript that will drop 1:100 to 99:100 of the coded links to the join page. This can be set very easiliy and the sponsor can just raise the drop out day by day.
They can even do it to only certain affiliates, say everyone with over 5 joins a day.
o if you ratio goes from 1:150 to 1:1500 in a day -week there is a problem. Maybe the sponsor is going broke and can't pay, maybe he's got a problem with his program - let's face it these things happen, or maybe you have a problem with your traffic - did it suddenly rise? We get listed on Worldsex and AL4a, sign ups have gone way up, ratios way down.
There is only one way to calculate this job.
Hours worked x money spent x money earned.
What if I, as a sponsor, gave you content that got you lised more often and on better freesites. isn't that worth something out of your % or would you rather be with a guy giving you rubbish content and 10% more?
