While I know Ashley Brookes isn't the biggest solo girl out there these days, she still has a big following. She has tens of thousands of old links up that will never die. I can't fathom that she isn't bringing in atleast a couple sales a day.
With that said, are you saying that NO ONE noticed that an affiliate never sent a sale for nearly 3 months? That the fact that you had no expenses related to affiliate payouts for that time period didn't raise a red flag? That guys who sent 10-20 sales a month were sending 0? I'm sorry, I refuse to believe someone who has been in the industry that long would overlook something like that on accident.
So my conclusion is that someone was shaving. I don't know who runs her site, who sets up her links, or who even owns it. But someone was stealing from affiliates plain and simple. For that, I will blacklist her site and any sites associated with hers (or in the same program) as hers. I would suggest other webmasters who care about the integrity of their clicks to do the same.
