When a sponsor

I am a firm believer that stats can only beuseful from a sponsor if those stats accurrately reflect the traffic that hits the first page of the tour from a gallery. So when i say first page hits, I mean the first page of the tour and not the warning page.
So if I ask a sponsor "What is your conversion ratio?" I exspect to hear a number from 1:1 to 1:6000 (I guess any higher then 6000 and they arent a sponsor for long LOL) and that number representing the number of hits I send with my code to the very first page of the tour. I think that is useful information.
But what I want to know is how useful is tracking second page hits INSTEAD of first page hits? and should a sponsor tell you right up front, before you even join their program, which hits they track?
