Regarding my signature project.

1.) We are currently averaging around 50 visitors a day after almost three months in operation. About 80% of those are paid for. Is this good, bad, or neither? I trying to gauge whether or not my expectations are too high.

2.) Affiliates- some of you mentioned affiliates in your response my other thread regarding promoting the site. The current pricing leaves no room for this as we were trying to keep the price as low as possible. Taking Apple Butter for example, we have it priced at $3.15/jar. Our biggest competitor is at $3.75/jar and many are around $6/jar. Would a better strategy be to got to say $4.25/jar and offer affiliates 25%, or go premium at $5.75 a jar and offer affiliates 35%? Would either of these %'s be enough to attract quality affiliates?

Thanks for your continued help
