Apparently there are few here (adx/mutt) who take it as a high ratio and not highly converting as meant to be when used as an affiliate term.

Its the same as in the TGP world. We call a website that skims 40 percent to trade partners, a 60 percent skim site. Because it skims 60 percent to galleries. Even though thats the original destination. Theyre affiliate terms. Thats why I said in my first response that you should go ahead and put that on your affiliate program. There is typically only one meaning throughout the masses of whatever field youre in, even if youre going to perceive it as a high ratio which would be bad, it would still be incorrect because thats not how its used in the field youre in.

If anybody comes to you and says they have a high conversion ratio, they are speaking of ratio that displays a high converting website (rate)
