Most Profitable: High Commission with less sales or low commission with more sales...

    Hello all,

    I have experimented a bit with affiliate programs. First in software costing around $75 paying out 25% and second with diet pills costing $150 paying out $30/sale.

    Both have had some limited success (sales). About 1 sale per 200 visitors.

    My question is for those with much more experience, is it easier/more profitable to sell higher dollar items that pay high commission (but only make several sales / month) or to focus on cheaper products that can convert much more sales but pay much less per sale?

    Thanks for any input!
