Then when you look at your ratios, you can look at REAL ratios...If you use trials then you have to take into account the trial joins on your ratio and that's BS.

There's a time when you can micro-manage it TOO much.
Thanks for the input. I completely agree, earnings per unique is what really matters. However, *most* affiliates get caught up on the uniques/sales ratio, and they freak if they see anything below 1 in 500.

It drives me nuts to see people post lists of all their sponsors, showing the sponsor-counted ratios. Don't they realize that no two sponsors count hits the same way?
