Before Phoebe I experienced it to be quite random. I run relics with 30 strength but 120 coherence and explode about 1 out of 5 ruins ... didn't check after Phoebe yet.

Sooo, did a day of null sec relic site running today ... it took me some time to get comfortable again and find the good places. No actual difference to the pre-phoebe era. It's still about 30m average per site with my skills and ceptor explorer, I exploded some more ruins than 2 months back, but I think this was more to my impatience and own failure in using the tools right. Ruins are still annoying, the hardest ones are often empty (this is not a proof but a strong perception)*. I got one Sansha bpc, which is traded in contracts about 20m, nothing big. One relic can had the core next to the start node, unfortunately I forgot to take a screenshot ...
*before you ask, I have no scanner mounted to keep the morale up when you know that you can't do all cans because of your fit ;)**
**also I like to fit a warp disruptor ;))

It appears to be much more often than the Remains or Rubble, but it could just be that it annoys me more to see an empty Ruins can. I had only Ruins seen completely empty yesterday (3), zero empty Remains and Rubbles (though sometimes only garbage loot), I hacked about 50 cans.

After spending 4 hours in nullsec this weekend I made 20 mill, then lost my Herion during my first ghost site experience. I went back to retrieve the wreck so I guess I broke even.
The risk is not worth the reward. Takes too long to hack anything (even with 30/90), takes up too much screen real-estate which also ups the risk of getting ganked and the loot is just to poor.
Back to L4GÇÖs I guess.
Don't give up, the success chance improves greatly with training, better skills and ships. In a 4h trip in Null you can make 400mio or more just relics (it's chance based, can be 100mio only or 1B if you are lucky). My stats: 120 coherence, 30 strength, interceptor, 73 probe strength. I explode 1/5 ruins in average. You can get even better stats with a covops frig, but at the cost of some problems with bubbles.
Forget ghost sides in null, they are too rare to be of value. But if you want to run them, rush in, hack the one can with the different name and warp out, this all needs to happen in roughly 30sec. If the rats appear you have another 20sec or so if you are lucky, don't stop hacking, complete it and warp out or you will die from the failed hack's induced can explosion.
EDIT: Don't bother with Data sites, the loot is garbage.

You did nothing wrong technically ... but you were looking in the wrong places. First of all forget about Data sites, the loot is not worth scanning. Second forget about WH sites, it takes too much time to scan down all the sigs to find something suitable. Don't bother with ghost sites in Null space, if you can't hack a red core in 30sec (I can't). And then finally there are only two fractions worth hacking at all ... Sansha and Blood Raider.
