Here is the question, and I think this is the crux of it:
Is the "new reality" of 1:3000 - 6000 a shelf or a point on a declining line? If it is a new stable place, then everyone will adapt to that. If the ratios continue to decline drastically, then we are teaching new users never to pay and the 1:3000 is old guys who will be gone from the consumer population soon.
Watching the success you had, you probably can answer that. Are signups declining for equal effort, or have they reached a stable low point?

That's the whole problem in a paragraph. Is 1-3,000 going to be the bottom or will it go lower?
1,000,000 converting at 1-3,000 = 333 sales a day @ $10 a sale it's $3,330 a day income. If it were that easy 1,000s would be doing it and no one would be moaning. The problem is the more who try the harder ti is too maintain the original 1,000,000 @ 1-3,000 as the only tool you have is to add more content.
Then there's the problem Misterpeabody addresses. Do the people slinging mud at the wall have a clue about how to get all that right. Or will they go broke relying on stats to find the winning solution. Kinda like relying on stats to come up with the winning lottery number. Extreme example, still fits.
Are those throwing out free content to get the stats without knowing what really works, destroying a once vibrant business?
Would ST23 be so happy if he were selling porn paysite membership joins or only traffic to sites selling to porn paysite membership sites?
Can the people who run the sites afford to create a great tour, content, landing page, better site, etc. That will make the surfer turn into a member?
Where is Stocktrader23 hiding?
And finally, what's on the TV tonight because that's where I'm headed.
