Topbucks redirects my traffic :(

I think traffic leak is a bit of an exageration. It's not a leak in as much as the surfer isn't going to go there and buy something that you won't get credit for.

What you're saying is that you expect to get both surfer referrals and webmaster referrals from the same traffic. Nice if you can get it, but I don't feel I'm being cheated if I don't.

When I make my own galleries I don't even put the webmaster links on them any longer. I used to add them to the bottom of all my galleries, if the sponsor paid for wm referrals. It became pretty obvious over time that the few referrals I was getting wasn't worth the extra time and link space. I get 100 times the milage out of referrals posted here, on other boards, or via ICQ and spend 1/100th the time to do so.
