Ok, from the program's point of view yes, you need to base yourself on conversions. You still couldn't compare yourself to another program based on one affiliates' stats; you would have to compare your overall average conversion to theirs (which of course you won't know) and you would have to have the same ratio of affiliates sending traffic type x,y,z... so all in all, not possible

ie. let's say your program does 10% free to paid on average, there is the possibility for this affiliate you maybe would do 2% - unless an actual test has been done, then comparing these numbers is an exercise in futility
