seems like sponsors arent counting traffic?

[Jim]

Any program I was ever part of never miscounted hits on purpose. And Sparky can back me up on this to a degree. But sometimes, shit does happen. To out and out discount hits today would be much too transparent to the webmasters for any program to try. If you are counting your outgoing traffic, which you should be...there are a lot of factors between your script and the sponsors where some traffic could get lost. Remember, the path between a banner on your domain and a script on your domain is just a tiny jump. But then comes the many jumps from your script on your domain to a script on another domain. And sometimes, the script that is counting your traffic on the sponsors domain might not be working for a short time due to, well..shit happens. But still, the tracking of signups will still be working. Unless you are being paid on hits sent, I really wouldn't worry about it too much. But, that's just my opinion.
