There's all kinds of reasons why a sponsor might shave.
For example, (and i don't use the sponsor in question so this is nothing more than a generic piss in the wind) let's say you sent 20 sales and 18 of them charged back. The sponsor has one of two choices - cancel your account and blacklist you from signing up with anything that could ever affect their account again, or place your account on hold and monitor it.
Maybe you only had 10 chargebacks, or maybe none, I have no idea.
Maybe they didn't do a thing, and your traffic changed - is it still coming from the same place?
Maybe it IS coming from the same place, and all the surfers who were going to sign up did, and you need to start sending them to another sponsor, because the current one is no longer tripping their trigger.
And as always, like it has been said many times before - skimming is part of this business. Count your own clicks, calculate how much you make per click, and choose your sponsors that way, not based on ratios.
Of course, 0:5000 could be a fluke, it happens every now and then.
