Yes something like that - if I knew exactly how to do it I would have.
Most of the seo players and domain players want to spend time on getting traffic/domains, not managing links and filtering.
But you need a big site portfolio to do as you suggest, so few sponsors can actually do that.

and everyone isn't as bright as you are in seeing past that.
you know?

Yes there are quite a few. We track outgoing and some sponsors do count raw. Many don't however, and it stinks of scam to me. (I've been thinking of making our counts public, but it will step on too many toes with no value to us).

If it's worth it is another question. Many idiots look at the sponsor count only but the people who see past the scam stats are probably the same people that can send you volume. But maybe I'm desperately mistaken (some big link list owners who do lots of volume and post their stats on boards use sponsor counts...).

If I had a program I'd make damn sure to let the webmasters know other programs are messing with their stats.
