This year we are looking to add more staff, more sites, and I am quite confident we will again double both revenues and profits.

On Twistys we haven't added a tour in 3 years. Haven't changed our gallery layout in 2 years and yet our ratio is in the same range it was 2 years ago. I'm not sure if it is our niche or what. I believe had we had more staff on earlier and had been able to launch more tours and galleries we would have improved our ratio and sales much more than we did.

I will say on our freesites i have seen the drop in ratios on sites we don't control the advertising for. When we control the advertising the sales have been rock solid. When we go with the FHGs we do terrible.

Note.. we plan to update our tours and come out with new tour designs at new designs our FHGs in the very near future
