But I can't very well make them buy, and this is where the sponsor needs to have a good site that converts them into actual buyers. And yes, converion ratio isn't everything. As stated above, there is the question of how much you get paid per sale overtime (i.e. your share and the retention if on revshare).
Another thing to keep in mind is that different sponsors count clicks in different ways, so if you're looking in something like Unified Stats, a sponsor showing up as 1:200 isn't necessarily much better than one showing as 1:1000. They could just be counting their clicks differently.
