Thank you! For being honest!
I had jackasses claim they'd convert 1:80, and better. I am not saying it is not possible. When I started my first page on an amateur level, I e-mailed members of my Yahoo Groups, who wanted me to put up a page, and many of them joined. I probably had a ratio of 1:15 back then.
However, for normal traffic 1:500 is extremely good, 1:700 is good, and for TGP traffic 1:2000 is good. What counts is the ratio over a long time period, like a year, not the stats for one week.
Let's talk about affiliates! I have about 50 of them. 40 don't make any money, 6 or 7 make decent money, and 3 make about 90% of everything. So why don't 40 make any money? Because the sites don't convert? No, because they don't send any traffic.
