I have actually heard theories about this for a long time. There are some that believe some sponsors will give you some free signups when you join and send some traffic to entice you to keep sending.
For example. You signup and send a sponsor 2K hits. If you only get 1-2 signups (depending on the traffic source) you might decide it is not good enough and move on. so the sponsor "credits" you a few sales without telling you. Now you have 3-4 signups and you might continue using them.
I have never seen proof of this happening nor have I ever heard any sponsor admit that they have done this, but it is a rumor that has gone around for years.
