Shade, getting 10 people looking for porn, at a porn sample to click on a banner to go to a site and then 1 in 100 buy something isn't creating or converting anything. It's piling shelves full of something people want in the hope someone will buy.

Shooting a porn picture, that makes that person want more and go to a site with more, is creating traffic and conversions. Your flowery words and design are not making anyone buy. Just look at the porn on the page you put up. From then on it's in the hands of the porn producers to make the viewer into a buyer.

Online porn thinks otherwise. It thinks if you send enough people at something they want, one will eventually buy. Pile the viewers high enough and it looks like it all works. Untill Tubes, made buying unnecessary.
