I have seen simiilar ratios in my stats for some very big companies that I have promoted for years and years. Can't sell shit on them now. Sending plenty of good, real traffic. But not seeing any conversions.

You can say "Your traffic sucks" until the cows come home. But every hit I send is a real human being clicking on a link that they are interested in. If it doesn't convert at the tour, then there is something happening.

My belief, from my years of experience, is that they are using us as a way to find the next site to search for that has the members area ripped on a tube.
