I'd be surprised if the affiliate makes more than 15% of the sales he generates. And as such is the cheapest traffic out there. Try running an exo campaign and bring home 85%...

What he said. It's so easy to lose that cookie, and for surfers to have their privacy settings so that they look like they came from a type-in when they actually clicked a link. So affiliates have to just live with the fact that they won't get credit for all the traffic they send.
The other thing to bear in mind is that if a paysite owner wanted to rank for all the terms that affiliates do, it could cost them way more than 50% of their revenue.
