I was so close to dropping PC myself due to conversions but I took their advice on board and it worked. I am not saying this is right for everyone but when a sponsor performs poor for me the first thing I do is contact them direct, give them my url and ask why?
I try their suggestions to an extent and if it still doesn't work I move on. If the sponsor does not reply I also move on, it is about building a relationship between yourself and the sponsor.

Sponsors start affiliate programs, because they don't know themselfs how to drive millions of targetet surfers to their site (or just not interested in doing it themselfs).
When you signup as an affiliate .. you should already know how to drive traffic and what kind of marketing to use .. Sure there can still be some info comming from the sponsors on what they know that works.
But It's really not their job, if they would had want that they would had gotten 10 inhouse affiliates gave them a monthly sallery and told them what todo 40 hours a week. (that would be about the same as 400 lazy webmasters working for themselfs hehe)
