I have always ignored published conversion ratios when I was an Affiliate and asked myself: "Would my referrals maybe buy from this site?"

If a sponsor has 10 sites and shows conversion ratios that are relative (by the sponsor's own math) then those ratios are relevant to the sponsor's overall affiliate program and might influence you on which of that sponsor's websites to commit your marketing effort.

But Sponsor A and Sponsor B may use very different math to arrive at his stated conversion rate(s).

Trust your gut and experience or learn from other successes and failures.

If you want a warranty -- buy a toaster. I think the OP is looking for an edge to success in the wrong supporting data -- that's my point.
