Income share - going downhill?!?!

IS EPINIONS DECREASING THE AMOUNT OF INCOME SHARE YOU GET? READ AND FIND OUT!
I'll make this review quick and to the point.
I was checking over my reviews to see which are making the most money. So far, my review on the 2001 Chevy Impala ( http://www.epinions.com/content_35430305412 ) has got the most hits. But something weird going on here. Have a look at the stats:
September 2001:
Member Hits 3
Non Member Hits 27
Base Eroyalties $0.03
Income Share $0.19
October 2001:
Member Hits 3
Non Member Hits 155!
Base Eroyalties $0.03
Income Share $0.13
Now what on earth is going on here? I had over 5 TIMES as many non-member visits in October than in September, but got LESS income share? What's up with that? I know the formula for income share is kept secret for obvious reasons, but one would think that if you got more hits you would get more income share, at least to SOME degree.
I have sent email to epinions on this problem before because I have seen this behaviour before (not this bad though, but no response at all), but really this takes the cake! As a US-non-resident, I have to get $100 in my account before I can get epinions to cut me a check! At the current rate I'm going, it will take me over 4 years to get there! And that's assuming that epinions doesn't make further reductions to the royalties they dole out!
I'd love to hear your comments. I am full of it, or am I on to something here?
