Very true.. Well before tubes came along, I found that conversions started getting worse due to a couple factors.

1. all the FHGs started being done by designers and are piss poor at converting. They make them like magazine ads and you typically can't even find a GOOD call to action link on them.

2. Paysite owners forgot that people making 30k a year are just as much interested in joining a porn site as those that are making 100k. They started designing their paysites that were loaded with graphics, flash etc. etc. etc. such that consumers without a great computer system or internet connection had to wait for the site to load and couldn't even watch videos etc. on the tour.

That was when I started to see a decline in conversion ratios. For some reason people forgot that it's about the porn, the fucking, the hot girls, and it's not about cool websites.
