I'm not sure the example you gave measures conversion at all. Isn't it measuring avg visits against a single fixed purchase?

A bad, very common (in my experience) definition of conversion rate is "goal actions/# of visits". It seems like you're thinking of conversion rate as "goal actions/# of unique visitors", which is a better definition, but still frequently at odds with profit.
