obviously if you send your traffic to a crappy tour, you won't make sales, however...

there is a string of sites on one program i sold at around !:200 for ages off my gallery traffic. even on really bad days, these sites never went over 1:400 for me. my friend - who is also a gallery maker, and one who makes sales, never did better on those sites than 1:1200. yet he has experience with the niches and with building successful galleries.

obviously the only problem can be that his marketing for those particular sites is not as effective as mine. our linking is the same - same tour, same exit situation. and we've run into the reverse for other sites.

so a good site can be badly marketed. it is the webmaster's responsibility to market it effectively, and the paysite owner's job to make a tour that converts.
