Just feeling peeved

I know (ie strongly suspect) that I'm being ripped off by certain sponsors, but I also know that there's nothing I can do about it (apart from not promoting them).

So why do I keep promoting them?

Because the payouts are good.

But I just find it hard to accept that 4000 hits one day = 7 signups and 4000 hits the next day = 0 signups. Same the next day. But there's 1 the next. And 2 the next. Oh, 4 today, that change of colour worked wonders.

My traffic doesn't change that much. Pretty much the same searches, same volume, same uniques. The only difference is the signups. I'm not basing my feelings on these simple numbers - I'm talking about traffic over a period of months.

I know there are hundreds of reasons why signups will fluctuate and what have you - but at the end of the day there's a whole lot of scope for cheating ...

If somebody comes up with a cheat-proof tracking system I'll lick their ..... feet.
