Hmm I agree, it can be a speed bump getting some specific kind of help. Personally, in everything, it's all a matter of factoring out luck. Nobody wants luck, we want knowns and unknowns. So the common theme is all under one sponsor. Well, do they use the same processor as the better performing ones? Be good to know for your own info. Maybe they cascade billing different? Probably do, but again be good to know whats up there.

But it's good to go into it armed, so to speak, with some bits of data where you can say look, I've done all this to figure it out, and all I need to know is what <niche> site is your best and I'll try pushing it for another week. Maybe you have less joins, but they retain better. Good to know, so you could go revshare instead of PPS for instance. If you're a profitable affiliate, you want to know that.

I've found being on both sides of the deal, that it's a lot easier to get that specific help when you know the affiliate really has looked at a bunch of angles and are trying to be a good partner with you.
