It can make a big difference which keywords you have rankings for. Anything with "tube" in it usually has worse conversions than you might expect because they are all mainly savvy freeloaders.

Check your numbers but what I find holds me back the most with tubes is the ctr to the sponsor. It's usually pretty bad. If you can find a way to improve it and you have significant traffic it will make a big difference. Just don't get caught up promoting the ones with ratios much over 1:2,000. Make sure the performers get lots of time on the front page and the slackers are buried.
