Looking at those numbers, I would have thought there was nothing wrong at all.

I hate not to be towing the party line here, but I think we need to be careful. Those numbers show signup ratios not retention, upsells, cross sales or any other income that the site would have gotten, and if the sponsor was making a loss on the per-signup then do you blame them for converting to revshare ?
I have worked with a couple of programs of various sizes, and now own my own private one, and you would be amazed at what some webmasters will do for an extra $. After a few cases of webmasters signing up on multiple cards then charging back, linking straight to the join page from a page of false promise, coaching the surfer on how to cancel on a free trial, and more you can get kinda weary.
Now .... that being said ... if you cant support a $30 per signup model on greenguy's traffic then you should take a long hard look at your member's area.
