That isn't true at all. There is no possible way for every affiliate to know every site that is converting good throughout all of the programs.
Random "cold calls" such as "hey you should promote us" are not good because 1) they don't work and 2) they are not targeted.
An educated targeted contact such as "hi I came across your lesbian blog and I wanted to tell you about Her First Lesbian Sex, it is one of our best converting sites right now and I think it would be perfect for your traffic. I would love to help you promote this site so if there is anything you need at all please let me know and I would be happy to put together some content packs for your use." That is a good contact because 1) it is a targeted contact in which the affiliate should see some actual value in the contact and 2) the sales rep is willing to back up their claims by actually doing some of the initial work for the affiliate to give them a taste of what's going on with no real loss to them.
