    LOL that should be the first affiliate network admitting that it shaves it's affiliates :D You must have misunderstood it, beer read it again.

    Shaving means, that the network cheats it's affiliates by not giving credit for every sale/lead they make.

    maybe it was sharing that means they give you a percentage of what they earn

    OP seems to have goofed up, mistaking a letter 'v' in the place of 'r'.

    If it indeed is true, then the affiliate company needs to hire a proof reader to avoid such embarrassing statements! :eek: :p
