That's where I have to disagree, especially if you're basing your ads on ratio's & per-click totals.

Showing only 2nd page hits or "loosing" hits will obviously make the webmaster think the program's sites are converting better than they really are.

It's really ridiculous to debate on whether or not certain sponsors shave and it's even more ridiculous to ponder why they would do it. Here's a timely example. http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=38384
