Honestly, it varies a lot for me.

Before I submitted a lot of galleries, the sites varied but it was something like 1:500 for one site (no longer online becasue of 2257 b.s. so I pulled it back when there was all the hub-bub). When I do not promote them (FHG) the ratios are something like 1:1000 I would guess (All sites are some theme of foot fetish). I have one site not foot fetish that's new, and I have not gotten around to promoting, but it's a micro niche I guess. It's converting at 1:300 in roll over traffic from the other sites in network. No TGP/FHG's promoting it. Just banner, or links on other sites.

When I do a ton of TGP submissions, and traffic goes through the roof, it's a bit higher. You get all the freeloaders rolling through. So the ratio's sqewd. You get more conversions, but traffic's off da hook.

Ratios DO mean something. It's all about conversions in this business. Alexa rankings, PR, traffic, all that jazz is nice, and needed. But.. conversions are what pay da bills. Followed by retention.
