The math is super-easy regardless of volume  |
Mathematically sample size is significant and relates to things such as margin of error. A webmaster sending 1,000 clicks a month to 300 different sponsors has to wait 10 months before they have a sample size of 10,000 clicks to judge a specific sponsor. As you probably know the higher the sample size the greater the certainty of the significance of the metric. In this case the affiliate is putting up links "blind" for almost a year before they have meaningful numbers to analyze. In addition with such volume it may take a long time for them to reach the minimum. When they reach that minimum in 1.5 years will the sponsor still be around to pay them? That $/click value means nothing if you never actually get the money! This isn't the current model I rely on but in the past I did something like this and I can understand it. You ought to be able to see that there is the matter of trust for this type of affiliate...
