And how well does the average AVS convert against paysites?

AVS is a great way to promote your paysite. Let me give a scenario, you can modify to fit your purposes.
Let's say you have a paysite, and it costs $25/mo to become a member. You get what? Maybe $15 after expenses?
Now, suppose you promote your paysite via TGP traffic. We all know that as a rule, TGPers are cheap and not easily seperated from their hard earned money. So, what do you think is going to be easier to sell to them? A $25/mo membership to a site that is updated every week or two, or a $4.95 lifetime membership that has dozens of new sites added (meaning new content, in a variety of niches) on a daily basis? I think you will find that when properly presented they are going to go for the $4.95 lifetime membership.
Okay, now you have sold a $4.95 membership and will collect between $20 and $30 (depending on how many signups you get a pay period. You have also verified that you are now showing your content to a person that not only has a CC, but is willing to use it for online porn.
So, now you give better quality content in your AVS site than you would in a TGP gallery, and you are going to upsell your paysite in the members area. So, essentially you are getting paid to give a more explicit tour of what your paysite has to offer.
As far as conversion ratios, I have looked at peoples stats and see everything from 1:3 to 1:50 . . . . sometimes higher depending on the TGP they are bringing their traffic from.
Overall, we convert usually about 1:35 each pay period.
