Sure ratios are lower, but I can honestly say that I rarely see ratios worse than 1:400... And it's not because I'm lucky. If I went much lower, I'd just need to find new ways to increase my traffic.
Sherm,

I'd like to make a point here real quick about site content...

Shap has awesome content...

Kristin and Doc do too...

Things you can't find anywhere else.

Duke Dollars is another program that does the same thing.

I truly believe, and this is a rapid departure from my thinking 99/2000, that traffic is still King, but CONTENT is now just as important!

If you don't have something that grabs a surfer's attention by the balls, and holds them to your site for that CC, then you are going to see 1:5000 ratios as normal on middlin traffic.

Call me crazy, but I've been watching the trends, and from the little bit I've been working myself.

New products make a buzz and ppl buy.

It's being innovative and giving them the same feeling to break out the CC. Look at Bang Bros, as the pinnacle of this trend.
