No people who had seen a sample, gone "inside the shop" had to be more than 1-200 buying. 1-800 well that's shit marketing on the site.
People wander around Tubes who have no intention of buying, or from the Tube go get the pirated version. People who go "inside the shop" and 799 out of 800 don't buy. What do you think was wrong?

What do i think is wrong?
Paul, first of all, I understand your questions are rhetorical because you believe you have all the answers and view yourself as trying to educate others, even though its clear you lack any real qualified standing to do so.
Further, you continue to suggest, state or imply that people aren't buying. You're delusional. I know how well some tube sites convert. The simple fact is that you want to deny it because accepting would suddenly leave you without a crusade and force you to accept your own failures or go through the difficulty of finding a new excuse for failing.
The first thing to understand is that 800 people are not all qualified prospects. 10,000 people pass through a busy shopping mall on a given day. That doesn't mean they are 10,000 people interested in purchasing something.
What is the solution?
Who said there was a problem?
You are comparing 2011 to 2003 and saying there is a problem. Your only problems are a complete and total lack of business sense, dementia and senility.
Business is business, sales is sales, marketing is marketing, a product is a product. If you are unhappy with your ratios, they you are not attracting the most qualified prospects, you need to rethink your own marketing, you need to rethink your own sales process, you need to rethink your own methods, tweak, test improve, rinse, repeat. That's all. Not start with a moronic assumption that you know everything.
its called the scientific method Paul
- observe phenomenon
- formulate a hypothesis
- test hypothesis
- reformulate new hypothesis
It's not
- Observe phenomenon
- Declare that you have all the answers as you fail
- Run around screaming that everyones doing it wrong
You talk like EVERYONES conversions today are 1:100,000 and slipping. Clearly you have no clue how people are doing and whats going on, who's failing and why. People do better than 1:1000 just off typins from some big tubes just from uploading watermarked videos.
