Perhaps look to work some deals with guys who have a lot of exit traffic in the niche you are promoting.

And 20% is really pushing it. Steve, you must have some very niche stuff.
Not many affiliates send a steady flow of traffic. A good chunk of them do the TGP thing and not much more.
You need to have your own traffic available to test things out, such as site conversions and retention. Plus it's a guaranteed 100% cash flow, instead of the 40-50% you'll make relying on affiliates.
There are other extra benefits with having your own traffic as well. You're more free to pimp out your traffic with exits and such.
