We would love to pay them (and have them send more traffic) if it was worth something. You can't stay in business burning bridges.
Here's the info on from one of the affiliates and I'll let you guys make up your mind if they're cheating us or we just don't want to pay them.
Over a 2 week period, the affiliate in question sent an average of about 5K raw and 4K unique hits per day through the first part of our tracking script. This generated about 1 or 2 signups per day. Somedays were 0 and some days there were as many as 4. The only days that our covers were loaded were when there were signups and coincidentally there were the same number of hits as signups. The hits were sent from a wide variety of isps and countries, however alll of the signups came from AOL ip addresses. The info we track about the members (email address, name, etc.) was entered in caps for all of the signups. Aside from the first signup (in the previous pay period) none of these signups ever logged into the site they joined, and none of them contacted customer support. Also, four of the five signups that this affiliate generated in the previous pay period were either refunded or charged back.
