Even with a micro niche site the odds are not in your favor. You have to line up three things in order to get that sale. Not an easy task. Possible? Of course, but odds are against you on this I believe. It's probably not worth pulling links over if you're already making money with them.
Other things to consider: Maybe they rotate the biller for their internal traffic. Maybe they overwrite your cookie anyway should you have everything line up for a type-in sale. Maybe the percent is so small and the odds are so slim, that it's not worth worrying about.

I used to own a paysite before the processor went belly up long ago. I know it's a lot more than 1%. Remember it also applies to the Google situation you mentioned earlier.
I've also noticed the difference as an affiliate with programs. It probably happens a lot but affiliates write it off as being something else.
It's *definitely* something I advise affiliates take into consideration when choosing sponsors.
