hmmm this test might work if sponsor shave on a flat percentage... but i got a feeling that it isnt as simple as that...

if i was to write a shaving mechanism i would do it so that the affiliates whose traffic converts least from trial to full membership get shaved the most... which would have the effect of weeding out the unproductive affilate yet retain the ones who make the sponsor money.

so if none of your trials convert to full membership you may find that u get i higher shave applied, if your test period is too short then the shave mechanism wouldnt have time to come into full effect, also if every trial converts to full membership you might not get shaved at all....

anyway just a hypothesis that im throwing out there for your consideration
