All traffic carries different values. For one source of traffic, .03 per unique could be amazing, while .03 for another wouldn't be so great.

Now I understand that, but lets put our engineering hats on for a second.
Quality of traffic * Quality of Paysite = $$$. much like
Intensity * Voltage = Energy.
Now, we can't measure both at the same time. Either we know the voltage and measure the amperage, or else we know the amperage and measure the voltage.
Seeing how hoes.com sent the traffic to all those sponsors, I was under the impression what we do is assume traffic quality constant, and then compare sponsors on that given traffic quality. Cause otherwise what'd be the point of them keeping a list ?
So, 0.03 a click can't be "a way to measure traffic". We're not measuring traffic. We're measuring paysites. And for paysites, 0.03$ per unique is poor. Both in the absolute, and in the relative (notice many listings there make 10 and 11 cents an unique).
Now I understand this may be measuring tool bias (hoe.com traffic be more adequate for aff than for this), but still, my point was more along the lines of, ANYONE will pay you 3 cents an unique ffs. What sort of great program is that.
