But when you look at those numbers and you look at how much traffic I throw at the sponsors I can say, "Hmm.. Top Bucks and Naughty America are lower because they don't convert my traffic as well as the others do."
Looking at my traffic I can say things like:
Fuck You Cash should have converted better and I should have made more for the traffic. Primarily it is for 18yearsold.com and I often thought about sending the traffic to Pure18.com or a Teen Revenue all access pass page. But then Teen Revenue is one of those sponsors that doesn't count all of the clicks.
Between Rage Cash and Fuck You Cash the difference in money is over double in RC's favor. With less traffic. Both programs use NATS.
TCG and TR both use the 2nd page hits scheme. 12% difference in amount of traffic sent to both programs in TR's favor. 360% more money in TR's favor. 450% more signups though they cost less... But with rebills at 67% they blow away most PPS programs.

Of course you know all of this...it's your traffic and your money.
BUT, my point was the average webmaster or noob reading that page might think the sponsor he should push is one that just reports clicks differently and is actually the worst.
Also, with MPA and NATS, can't you customize how you count the clicks or what stats to display to stats remote users?
Just because two proggies use NATS doesn't mean they're calculating conversions the same way.
There's nothing you can do about this of course, you don't have time to spend two days putting a page like this together when there's not much benefit for you...I'm just saying that it sucks that sponsors who purposely count 2nd page or join page to make their ratios look better end up getting rewarded for being shady like that.
