How many tens of thousands of people watch the videos as free loaders vs the very few that actually click through to the tour. Check that stat and you will see how valuable the traffic is and what it's doing to this industry.

Ratio means jack shit with tubes.. Just like it means jack shit with e-mail spammers..

The same argument came from, the babelog sites that used everyone's content to sell 50 adds all over the gallery pages. They would claim real low raito's just like you are claiming with the tubes. However the reality of it is there would only be 1 tiny little link under on the gallery page, meanwhile there would be 50 other links on the gallery page.

The few surfers that actually found the links were likely looking for it which caused the ratio's to be good.. The truth of the matter is the babelogs didn't give jack shit about sending sign up they were just a bonus. They were interested in using the content to generate traffic in order to sell dating,cams and ad spots.

Which is the same thing many of the tubes do.
