So you are saying little sponsors are being capped at like 25K? Which would explain a few things why some sponsors convert and some dont.
I dont know, but my gut feeling is there is very little shaving going on now days unless you mean processor shaving. Nats 4 shows you. And my submits are not going thru. I honestly do not think I am being sponsor shaved but rather they are being denied by the processor for some reason. In almost all cases where things suddenly stop.
Also you ever notice this shit always starts right at the first of the month. hmmm.

the $25k cap is the figure i was being told by people i was also recently spanked for an amount i would rather not post here. now is this a stern amount? not 100%. of course things like credit and the capital you have will change this amount.
the only way i was personally able to avoid lower amounts was being backed by a large amount of capital.
maybe the sponsor is not shaving but if they are purposely sticking with methods that they know processors are no longer liking and in turn playing with affiliate joins trying to milk things until they hit the fan. i dont know what you would call that. it is not shaving but close enough imo.
they know what the state of processing is, and alot are choosing to make one final blast to see how far they can push it. that is why so many programs are going under now. it is a processing issue not a join issue.
there could be alot of reasons why the processing is not going through. what type of sites do the processors have a history of processing? take a look at this and understand why they may be behind the scenes being further regulated and why joins are down.
it used to be "what processor do you guys use?" and than in turn trust your billing with that company. i think the exact opposite now.
"what company do you guys not use?" and there lies your answer. alot of processors billed high risk for many years and you may in turn be clumped in with other deemed high risk sites even though yours is not.
