I only mentioned ratios as a way to define the shift that we've noticed this year. That's all. It wasn't implying that we don't invest in our sites.

I mean.. the only thing ratio tells is how the traffic is sent, not how well a site converts (well, for a paysite it can because of the huge amount of traffic sent all kinds of ways)
But.. from an affiliates point of view the ratio tells very little.. ofcourse SE will produce better ratios that 404.. but here's an example :
I have 2 galleries, each viewed a 1000 times
Each of these galleries got a single outgoing link
Gallery 1 have a "Join with your creditcard inside now" link
Gallery 2 have a "Continue to the free videos" link
Gallery 1 will send 20 clicks to the sponsor
Gallery 2 will send 200 clicks to the sponsor
Both of these galleries will very likely bring the same amount of sales, but the ratio on gallery 2 will be 10 times worse than gallery 1.. but it matters nothing, because the amount of sales is the same.. investment vs. income
Ratio means very little...
