Day in and day out I see sponsors flaunting their stats from "random" affiliates on GFY and other boards, showing great ratios "mainly from TGP traffic" and other bullshit like that. Here's the deal, those great ratios are ALMOST ALWAYS join-page ratios. Don't believe me? Send a bunch of traffic to any sponsor's one paysite tour. Check the stats. Then switch your linking code and send the same amount straight to join. You'll see a nice difference in hits counted. Not gonna name any names, just be aware that some of the most vocal and self-professed honest sponsors use this technique. So don't let yourself get fooled by their "we're the best thing since sliced bread" rhetoric.
