Traffic generated from internal sources should NOT be used in determining the profitability of a PPS program. The reason www sales are calculated is because of the high visibility of the sites from being in a program, you get return customers and SE indexes from a lot of links that is in essence 'free'. www sales calculate a portion of the additional income category which include:
www sales
exit consoles
members upsells
mailing
other advertising avenues

Thats all I wanted to understand ;) I do realize you can track type ins, most of our clients do that, but I was not 100% sure what exactly you did count as www sales... Also, it might be easy to meassure the general www sales, BUT what you can not track is why they typed it in, or what SE they came from and why you got indexed there... It could be that it is because you have the PPS program, it could very well also be because it is a sale from a surfer that you sent to the site originally from internal traffic sources... so it IS not 100% accurate and correct to count those sales into the PPS profitability and it is very hard to figure out how much of a percentage of those www sales should be calculated in.
