A couple of people have commented that a) "reality" tours work better with TGP's/MGP's and graphics-intensive tours with SE traffic and b) TGP/MGP traffic recurs better.

If there is any truth in this, perhaps the reason is that TGP/MGP traffic consists of generally more seasoned surfers who are aware of the limitations of online video and can therefore identify sites which have (relatively) high quality videos (via the screencaps on their "reality" tours). SE traffic has a higher proportion of newbies, many of whom may not yet be aware that video standards are much poorer than those of still photography and are therefore more drawn to "traditional" tours with apparently higher quality content.

That would be consistent with the perceived difference in rebill ratios, because again seasoned surfers are aware of the limitations of videos (production and transmission quality, load times, etc), while many newbies may assume these are limitations connected to the sites they have joined and not to the media itself.
