Great points purdue512.

Since the AZ cookie is only one day they type of products you promote would be a factor too. If you promote big ticket products or electronics - those are examples of things that typically have a longer buying cycle and people can shop and compare for days or even weeks before buying.

Also if your copy tends to attract people who are in the info gathering stage rather than in buy now mode, you'll lose out too.

The other advantage to AZ besides brand is the huge variety of products and the cool tools they offer. I would think with the right niche that has hungry buyers, ready to buy today, some affiliates could do OK.
