at 1000 hits you will get some days with 7 and some with 0.
at 4000 hits you will get some days with 5 and some with 13.

The thing that will get tighter is the time it takes to see a normal rate of conversion.

at 40 it will take 2 months to see the same things happen as two months prior...
at 400 it will take 2 weeks...
at 1000 it will take a week...
at 4000 it will take 2 to 3 days...
... to see the balance.

This is why whales don't bitch much... That and prepaid joins... But if you are sending 16,000 hits a day to a sponsor you will see the fluctuations shrink down to hours and going higher you will see it follow the rate of traffic for a given hour.
Very nicely put

Comparing conversion ratios between sites depends a whole lot on the volume you send... Especially if you're only sending a handful of hits a day, people don't realize how many of those are search engine spiders and stuff.
