It seems that no matter what I do I can't get my epc above $20. I'm getting paid $1 for a lead, so that means at best, 20% of the people who click my affiliate link actually sign up. I noticed from my site statistics that on average, 20% of my users are running firefox 3.0. 15% are using IE6, and 65% have IE7. I know that IE6 and 7 block 3rd party cookies with out a compact privacy policy by default. It might just be a coincidence, but then, it might not. I'm not doing any kind of cookie stuffing or fancy redirects. Traffic manually clicks my affiliate link. My question is, do I need to get a compact privacy policy? Or is it my merchants website that needs one (if they don't already).
