Check how you are actually marketing to your traffic and you'll figure it out. For example are you advertising teen and the chicks are far from teen when they get to the actual site? Maybe it's a wrong keyword. The biggest pitfall I see many webmasters take is overusing the word "FREE", free sign-up this, free sign-up that... It's discerning to member's when they see Free everywhere and then when they go to sign-up they see fees. Those are just a couple examples... Happy Hunting!

DUde.. alltough I like your opinion and agree with the points, it doesn't explain why ratios dropped from 1:900 to 1:3000 in one week. None changes were made in that period to the sites
