That's total bullshit.
If an affiliate converts 1 in 250, that means I get 250 views to my exit consoles for every join he sends. (assuming all surfers see the consoles)
If another affiliate converts 1 in 1000 then I get 4 times the exit console views per sale....which means more exit console revenue per sale PLUS more traffic back from the people that you're trading exit traffic with.
Bandwidth is super cheap these days....if you're worried about affiliates chewing up your bandwidth from hits to the tour then you don't belong in the paysite business.
