Today sales are tough, get them and the traffic will follow. No one will send traffic to a site that doesn't convert, loads will send traffic to a site that makes them money.

Exactly right. What I ask for most is a proper landing page for my traffic. It converts well, but I'm always looking for a better pay model with a site that converts. A sponsor may have a killer site and members area and do great rebills, but if surfers bounce of the front door then what is the sense? Each site's traffic is unique and we need some variety in our landing pages and when we voice this it should be taken seriously.
Please don't take this the wrong way and think we're sending the wrong kind of traffic. I'm talking about sending another sponsosor the same traffic, selling the same niche, and packaged almost the same way, and converting well. Then you come along (just an example) and offer a better payout model so I decide to give you a try, send you my traffic, just to see my bounce rate hit the ceiling. Since everything is pretty much the same, I will contact you about the issue to see what can be done about it. Is this making any sense? I'm speaking from a small affiliate's view and I'm in that situation now. (small rant)
