And second question - assuming they are the real best converting sites..do you think it is worth taking a look at them and deciding what promote, or do you think it's not accurate at all, since everyone has different kind of traffic and sometimes the sites listed as best converters are simply promoted only by a few webmasters who have some very targetted traffic....but it doesnt mean they would convert the best with "general traffic"?
Any opinions?

A site that is "converting best" does not mean much, because you do not know how people are promoting it. For example, say someone builds a custom tour and links directly to the join page. Although his first page may be getting 1000 hits/day, the actual join page would only be getting around around 50 hits/day. Then say he gets 3 signups a day. Sponsor stats would show join page hits only, hence a ratio of 1:16.
