Can you imagine how long a manager of a real life adult shop would keep his job with such a conversion rate?

I worked in an adult video rental shop in my younger days. Think of it this way - If you consider a gallery to be the same thing as a customer picking up a tape or DVD box and looking at the pictures on it, then I'd say a 1:714 ratio would be about average. Customers would come in, spend an hour looking at dozens of tape boxes, and then leave. It's the same thing with galleries. It takes work and skill to make something attractive enough to close a sale, particularly when there are 100s of other offerings right next to it.

And as Greenie says, for most sponsors, 1:714 is damn good. Only *very* specialized niche sites (like, say, Filipino transsexual foot fetish domination in graveyards) are gonna do consistently better, and even then only if you can drive the proper traffic to the site.
