As Greenguy said, 1:150 is FANTASTIC...even if that is achieved, its a different story to maintain that. I'd also agree 1:500 to 1:1000 is average for most.
The thing is too...where one sponsor works well for one webmaster, it can do horrible for another so it really depends on your type of traffic. Likewise, a webmaster could have HUGE traffic but make nothing where another could have low traffic and make good money....confusing hey
Best thing to do is try out various sponsors and give it some time like 6 months and see how it does and then begin to weed out the ones that do poorly.
One thing I do is focus on the low cost trials on sites as GG said it's easier to convince a surfer to opt in rather than $30 straight up front. Another idea is to start off with Per-Signup options so that even with trials you get a lump sum...if you see lots of signups, switch it up with the Percentage option and see how it does....I usually do a mix of % and per-signups.
Overtime you will get abetter picture of how your converstion ratios will work and with what sponsors.
