Does Barnes and Noble really pay webmasters?

from David Doherty (webmaster@poem.org)
Dear Barnes and Noble,

I take issue with your calculations and I am disheartened and I will be posting this letter to my website along with your reply. According to your report generator my site gave 3,009 impressions with 830 click thrus for a ratio of 2.758% and 0 sales not a cent from May 9th till June 21,1998. According to my statistics I have given your banner 6,184 exposures on my site. Of course, I have to rely on you as to how many times its been clicked on. I have found that many counters do not work properly, your code may be the same way. It appears to me it only counts every two impressions. Which ads up, 3,000 is a long way from 6,000. I also, find it unbelievable that not one person has purchased a book from so many click thru's. It seems I am just giving you Free advertising. My website is very popular among poets and literary webmasters online with over 30,000 hits in two months, I am sure they would appreciate an answer why a popular site like mine can't make a dime. Sincerely, David Doherty webmaster@poem.org
