Some of it would actually convert!
You're welcome.

CE taught us all about "hacked/cracked" password sites back in the day. That traffic converted amazingly well. Even in the case of non-seeded real crack traffic back in the day we would send them to our "cracker-hacker tour". That tour's marketing message was "hey we know you are trying to get in free, and we know you want our stuff, but here is why we have to charge a reasonable fee" and that tour converted that so called junk traffic at less than 1:400.
Most of the comments in here are assumptions about user behavior, reactions to perceived injustices, and condescending judgments.
I applaud his honesty and give him kudos for actually looking at the numbers rather than just falling into the reactive thinking that is so prevalent when it comes to this topic.
