It's a myth created by untalented webmasters to make themselves feel better about poor ratio's and lack of sales.

I am sure that everyone has their books in order and can account for the money generated from every signup and it will reconcile perfectly with their join numbers.

But if someone were shaving, this would be the way to shut that shit down.

A few years ago I was shopping for affiliate tracking/reporting sw, and the seller, who I will not name, did whisper in my ear that his system had built-in shaving, if I wanted it. Just dial it in, it's a config variable.

I did not use that system.

Yet, I have doubts that programs can be nabbed this way because shaving also happens all the time, for legitimate reasons. The more the feds delve into this the more they'll see that it's not worth pursuing.

The affiliate tracking script sellers, otoh, might be easily doable if they still offer shaving as a feature. Pretty hard to explain away why they have you on tape describing how their shaving feature works.
