As for the ratios specifically. Not a chance. I dont give a FUCK how big anyone is. I would not ordinarilly brag but since you bring it up I am one of the best SEO specialists around with nearly 10 years of being an SEO and have consistently beaten major corporations constantly. I had a film site (not adult) that I sold early this year for 20K that was on the FIRST page of Google for the keyword "films" - yes the single word.
You know how many fucking results come up for "films"??
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY TWO *MILLION* - thats a 232 followed by 6 zeros- I was beating 231,999,995 other sites for that keyword.
I was beating Time Warner, Disney, Fox... EVERYONE... with the exception of 4 or 5 other sites that had been online for 10+ years with 10x the number of backlinks I had so really I could give a fuck who I go up against- for ANY keyword I can beat them if I put enough time and work into it.
There will always be new porn surfers unless babies stop being born and most of the people who search through Google et al have no clue of what a TGP even is much less surf them everyday looking for free shit so the "big boys" might get those guys sure but for people not in that endless loop of shit TGP traffic and who search new into Google, for me it's the best news I have had this year.

As a loyal AWE affiliate this is definitely good news for you, but think about how much extra money you could have made over those past 10 years (well, probably a bit less, live cams were rareish in 1999) if you'd been sending your traffic to true revshare programs. Someone who signed up 5 years ago and only does a few sessions a year could have still netted you a couple of hundred bucks over that time.
Like I said earlier, AWE could have made it even better by reassigning the original referring affiliate to the account, but of course they're not going to do that. Lifetime revshare going forward is going to be a big enough hit to the bottom line.
