It all started with tgp sites. Free sites were a great idea, just a little tease with some banners the business model worked and signup ratios were awesome. Then someone got the idea to give it away for free.

You guys are funny.... Ratios in 96 would bomb, paysites got shut down pre99 because they failed, and most programs back then never calculated ratios, it was mostly PPC or total crap stats.
What changed in our Industry was the traffic flow. We used to share it, from a gallery, a trade, a hardlink, cj sites, even paysites did it with exits. Today, other than a few submit passes and minor sources, this has all but dried up.
10 years ago any joe that could use netscape gold could rip out a crap page, toss it up on one of many many many free hosts, submit it by hand, and instantly get some beer money while a site make some cash too.
That's gone today.. that traffic is bottle necked between a 100 or so sites, almost all of which don't share the traffic, at least not at mass volume so the entire Industry can tap into it.
If you want the sales, just go where the traffic is... I guarantee you the sales will follow.
