... how great to conversions are. Like 1 in 40 and such. The thing is they are counting SOOOO poorly that the number is USELESS.

If you look around on the boards you see many people quoting their ratio's and comparing different programs based on that (= the sponsor's counts). Telling the truth may not always be in the sponsor's advantage. It's marketing, and many webmasters will fall for it.
I started counting my own clicks years ago. All I need is the number of signups from the sponsors to match my own click counts.
And indeed some don't even give easy daily stats. I wrote a script to fetch Maxcash' stats every day and calculate the difference with the day before, just to get easy access to daily signup counts. (Their news stats system give that number directly now, BTW).
