What is stats shaving, for real?

ok i admit i dont know exactly what it is and what ways it can be done, but if i were to guess at which ways of shaving there is i would guess these:

cut off rebills after certain amount of months (i actually do believe some, and quite a few sponsors do this)

shave of actual sales, like shave a percentage? like if you really make them 10 sales you get credit for 8 (that means they would have it set at 20% shave)

are these the ways? anymore ways you think possible?

Sponsors don't shave stats or "traffic"... only signups.

Watch out for any program that returns a high percentage of "credits" from otherwise healthy sales.

All you can really do is find a sponsor that you think is honest and watch your stats closely.

Sure they do... some will shave traffic in order to make your ratios appear better than they really are... prompting you to send even more traffic.

There are different ways to count hits ... they don't really "remove them".

we don't shave at all.... no Hits, no sign ups and we will never turn off the rebills

we pay on Trial sign-ups and we have Rev-share as well,the choice is yours. We use ES so we can't shave even if we wanted too..

That is why we convert great sign up now and watch your sales roll in
