Absolutely, tweaking is essential. Can you think of any aspect of life where everything is perfect right out of the gate? Perfection is not attainable - I think the key is to get out there and do it, and make adjustments as you go along. I've been able to consistently improve my conversion rates by double digit percentages through continued testing. The affiliates that track their campaigns the closest and make necessary adjustments will earn more than those that don't. It takes time and effort, but that's where the work comes in.

Besides, I think we can all agree that running statistics on your accounts to see how much money you made is better than running statistics on an employer's accounts to see how much they made :)
