And turn 10 buyers into 1 buyer.

So how many views on a scene before you get a click to a site and how many surfers does it take to earn a sign up?

As an affiliate there's little you can do to change the trend of less people buying. That ball lies entirely in the court of sponsors.
I know you generally don't like any tubes at all but it makes a huge difference which type of tube it is and the traffic sources. There's nothing about a tube which makes it automatically a horrible converter. Don't forget that you can still have a tube filled with nothing but 30 second teaser clips.

Affiliates actually have it pretty good if they are smart. All you need to do is ensure that you can quickly and easily swap out links and content of a sponsor who is not performing. Then you use someone else who converts and keeps their shit off PornBB. It's far easier for an affiliate to walk away from a program or even an entire niche than it is for the average sponsor.

CTR, yes I agree with that. Part of that is the trend towards large urls on the videos (pay sites). Another part is ad blockers and then there is good old fashioned surfer disinterest.
