Franck thanks for posting this thread, as it gives me an opportunity to further clarify. 1:44 is an *overall* conversion ratio. It does indeed include cross sale figures (many people x-sell to Little Summer), and as StuartD stated, it brings the conversion numbers down.
Also, remember that the average gallery submitter isn't going to put up those kinds of numbers. Anything around 1:400 is good and I think we'd all agree on that. Our affiliates with the really low ratios (and there are a lot of them) are typically program owners who are pushing our sites from within their members areas in smart and clever ways. We all know that this is the best target audience for an upsell as it's known that they are already willing to pay online and own a credit card.
Our new upgrades option is affecting ratios as well. Buy one site, and upgrade to have them all. More sales, and more money for affiliates.
