The traffic to my tube has been really good, but the conversion ratios suck!

I have looked at buying about 50 different tube sites. I found the average conversion to be about .25 per 1,000 unique visitors, which makes the average barely profitable at todays conversions. The range, however, was .06 to .68. At .35 and above, many of the tubes were quite profitable. Below, .20, they actually lost money, normally to the surprise of the webmaster. I think some of the top tubes with much viral traffic do significantly better, which is why they are not for sale...LOL

I have also looked a vid dumps that seem to average around .80 per 1000 visitors and are normally very profitable.

As a comparison, my blog/SEO network converts at right around $7 per 1000 unique visitors, which I know is quite good. But, it takes alot of effort to get each of those 1000 visitors.
