I never could understand this when you said it before. I understand that if the webmaster isn't actively selling the site then that might affect conversions but most affiliates in 2011 aren't promoting one sponsor. We promote many sponsors so we generally look at averages between sponsors and sites within a given niche. If our promotion techniques suck in general you would expect our overall stats to reflect that. And this guy has sent many thousands of hits so it's a rather large enough sample in my opinion.
Even if he is sending a hundred hits a day to each site, wy does that matter exactly? I have sites I send 30 hits a day to with consistent 1:300 ratios. They are niche sites and getting highly targeted traffic which is tough to get. There's no logical reason that I can think of to explain why 1,000 hits spread out over a month should convert worse than 1,000 of the same quality hits sent in one hour. The only thing I can think of is bots. What do you have in mind with this that I'm not seeing? It doesn't make sense to me so I'm really wondering what you know that I don't.
