Assuming all his traffic converts uniformly, then 79% of his traffic comes from affiliates. It's quite possibly higher than that but these are a lot of assumptions.

Oh and 1:1000 is good but not exceptional. I'm doing 1:600 so far this year.
Exactly. Without more info we can only assume. Then it comes down to personal levels of acceptance. I*n business I've been taught the hard way to not accept anything at face value.

1-1,000 is good on that traffic volume. If he's doing it all himself he's a genius, if he's buying traffic which would explain the volume, it's good.

Still maintain that the site has to be good.
