I meant by sending test joins. To do 300 test joins properly with 300 different sponsors would take a considerable amount of time. In addition if you will not always be credited back it would take significant amounts of money (additional costs). Further a one time test join proves very little. To be sure you would have to randomly do test joins on a continuing basis and under various controlled conditions.
$/click makes sense to monitor at all times. I agree entirely and there is no reason not to with programs like stats remote and nifty stats. Or you can even used a spreadsheet and check manually. But as I mentioned before this isn't the only thing you might be looking at if you are using a more long term model. $/click today doesn't mean I will have the same $/click six months from now or that they will still be paying me. It's one of many metrics and variables used to make decisions. We each run our businesses in different ways.
