Why do ratios matter?

Everyone goes on about how 'great' thier program is because they're sites are converting at 1:XXX

But all this means is that the number XXX is lower because there is less traffic, but more targetted.

I submitted a gay gallery with text links telling the surfers the cost and pretty much what they would be getting, I was converting at 1:50 ... but I only got about 150 clicks.

The next day I used text links telling the user to 'Click here to download the whole video' or something along the lines of that(more generalised, not mentioning price).
I got about 1400 clicks converting at 1:465.

Same amount of sales... just different amounts of traffic.
