It was as always a great post, with so many good points to commend. This one did stand out though.
The problem with it is this.
How many in the industry even understand what the surfer needs?
It's that simple, to so many this business is all about throwing hits at a site, less is done to convert and maximise the potential of those hits. A simple guide is look at the amount of Internet porn companies that have gone into the other delivery methods of porn. Very few, because very few can compete. They work hard at getting more profit from throwing more hits at the same stuff. They largely ignore DVDs, Magazines, Cable, Mobile Phones, etc to maximise and improve profits.
The problem is the skills many people in the industry possess. They can put up a site, make it jump through hoops, program a back end to make your eyes light up, talk and support affiliates. But when it comes to stepping out of the COMPUTER field they are lost.
I put it down to a lot of lorry drivers who can build an engine but do not have a clue about the load in the back of the truck. good delivery men but poor salesmen.
Eva and I will be in Berlin Wednesday to Saturday for the Venus porn convention, might pop in to see the Internet show.
Sorry off topic I know, but think about it and you see why so many resort to less than ethical methods to get business. They have no other options.
