The traffic is probably at least moderately related. I don't know if he would be that into the % thing because it would be a month before our regular affiliate thing paid out. I suppose I could track it seperately from the standard affiliate stuff, but I know he would be happier if I could just paypal him some dough. He would be willing to mail from his email and it is his list, so it would not be a spam thing at all.
Oh, and as an example of why he might be strapped but his list might be good, he promoted my sites through my affiliate program some time ago for a couple months but stopped because he thought there was an accounting error because he kept getting checks that were for the same amount every two weeks (we paid bimonthly then.) The checks were the same amount because his traffic and sales were consistent.
Do most of the free ezines and such operate on a % basis? I've asked a couple for ad rates and never received a response. Anyone know what % is average, common clickthrough percentage, and such? I could probably guess potential revenue from my conversion ratios.
Thanks everyone.
