One thing you fail to realize is that most beginner affiliates can’t sit there riding out a week of poor performing traffic or sit there for a month with an A/B split test because when your starting of every penny counts.

Once you have at least one profitable product/campaign running then it’s much easier to test as suggested. You can use profits from your successful campaigns to run tests and you can do it comfortably knowing you will still have enough money to feed yourself at the end of the day.
