6,000 to the sponsor means nothing if it's to different sites... For example, if conversion rates average 1:1000 and that 6000 is spread among 15 different sites, then that's only 400 to each site and so not getting a sale is understandable.
No, not bots - and the links (for the most part) are their own links from their RSS feeds.

That's a better way of looking at it, "spread among 15 different sites" - although the way the numbers have always worked for me over the last ten years, is the way averages are supposed to work --- sometimes you go 1000 (or whatever the ratio is) without a signup, sometimes you go 3000, sometimes you get the signup in the first 50. So I'd think that when you're working with numbers like 40,000, they'd be better than all zeros. But it's a good way to think about it, though - thanks.
