You're asking the sponsors to "step in". Step into what? You're crying for the solution for an issue that is theoretical at best. Theoretical until I see proof. I monitor thousands of affiliates day in day out and have yet to discover anything suspicious that matches the description given.

But I understand people need a scapegoat to bash when sales are down for a week or two. So let's bash sponsors. From a strictly scientific point of view, lower sales can only (!) be explained from two angles

- Sponsors shaving
- Trojan horses redirecting traffic

So everybody chime in into the bashing and demand "Sponsors step up and do something, quickly!". Nothing will happen because there is no issue at hand. In two weeks you will have forgotten this thread.

Okay, enough sarcasm.

Sorry but that's the truth, but then again, maybe I am completely wrong. At this point in time with the numbers I see there is not the slightest reason to panic. Send me proof or at least a little idea of it, and we will put resources (programmers, network engineers) to work.

Good night.
I don't see anyone crying, I see people discussing a potential problem.

Some may be looking for a scapegoat; I'm looking into a reasonable explanation why are sales steadily declining since january. And it's not just me, trust me.

Also, what are we left with but speculating? All you can hear is "Sales have hit the sky! We're having the best month ever! Nothing wrong with us!" and "All sales are processed normally, there's nothing on our end, if you have a problem logging in - contact us", etc.

So, unless you have something useful to add to the discussion, I'd suggest that you go and monitor another 1,000 affiliates and skip on the sarcastic comments.
