>>But I'm still a measly 1-2% click-through-to-sales ratio, and that's what confuses me

As I said, you can only do half the job by getting the click throughs, and the affiliate program has to do the other half by getting people to sign up when they see the form they have to fill out.
The webpage they see when they click through has to be able to "close the sale" (make the person buy the product.) Some of these pages are real turn-offs.
