Bored while waiting to go out.......thoughts fly into my head.

If people say , for instance, that they have a 1:500 conversion rate (while most sites that post their % have much better, it's just an example), wouldn't that mean they get 1 signup out of every 500 uniques?

Or do they mean that they convert 1 out of every 500 free trials into paying members? If that's the case, that is terrible! Adult dating converts about 1:12 (for free trials into paying members).

If case 1 is true and it is out of visitors, why wouldn't they just purchase a large amount of traffic and get rich without doing anything ;p

ie. become an affiliate that pays you let's say $20 per signup. Buy 10K traffic for $50, at 1:500 you "should" get 20 signups = $400. Meaning $380 profit for doing nothing but putting up 1 page.

Of course multiply this by buying much more traffic and bam...free money.

I'm pretty damn sure this isn't how it works ;p....so where does the conversion rate formula fail here ??
