Focus your attention on retaining that customer (rebilling). Customer retention is a lot cheaper than new customer acquisition.

The only thing your 1:200 ratio does is the ability to say, "Hey, my site gets 1:200 signup ratios!!". Big deal. Affiliates don't care if you tell them your site has a 1:200 ratio. The only thing affiliates are concerned about, or should be concerned about, is who pays them the most for their traffic.

They certainly didn't "screw your sales to traffic ratio" as your ridiculous thread title suggests. Honestly, I wouldn't blame them if they told you to get lost for making such a nonsensical thread.
