Has anyone noticed a massive drop in conversions?

Im not going to name names yet as we are just finishing up a test signup program and will have to notify the sponsors, but I will guarantee you that there are some that are not showing affiliates every sale they are making - and Ill be the exception and say that there are also some Nats sponsors doing it - although I realize they cant skim - they can turn off sales for a particular affiliate so no sponsor in this group will be getting sales here in a few more weeks.

I'd be very interested in the results of your tests Linkster...I've noticed a couple sponsors in particular had conversions drop to damn near nothing when they were extremely stable and consistent for a long time.

My overall conversions are stable, but the significant change between April and May was the result of a couple large programs.

If there comes a time when you're willing to privately release results please put me on the list
