thanks rav.....those were my initial thoughts (different counting techniques with a new interface/landing page)
my aff manager said no change has been made...as they suggested, I changed 6 or 7 links/creatives with new syntax codes....made no difference....

This is why I am asking here, because I must be missing something that's right in front of me....and there are smarter people here than I am...

also, just to accentuate the oddity here
(I just tabulated this)
The 5 sites that contribute to the traffic side of the equation looked like this

April 1st-3477 Total Uniques for these 5 sites(from AW Stats) 274 Raw/60 Uniques to sponsor
April 12th-4418 Total Uniques for these 5 sites(from AW Stats) 130 Raw/7 Uniques to sponsor

You can see the decline the last 6 days

Note: Come On Fred Couples at the Masters...win one for the old guys
