this time is passed but the money is still coming in - just to other hands.
And I will bet all your big earners are buying traffic from you. To sell what?

where do you think "titanic" make the most of itīs revenue?
in the cinemas and pay tv chanels or in the thousands of repeats in the free TV?
What has mainstream cinema got to do with porn?

THATīs the big error - you canīt sell food on people when you give them food for free.
but you can sell them drinks and much more.
True. But you can't sell porn to people getting free porn. Seems you agree with me.



Quote:
you are still thinking just in a much to small spectrum.
porn-users are consumers same like someone on a weather forcast site or a news site is a consumer with ALL need of a consumer.

we are getting closer and closer to that every day. more and more products (or even clones of products under other brand) are promoted on porn sites.

with cheese you are catching mice and with porn you are catching humans (primary man). but it is a big mistake to think that the product you sell is the same as the product you give for free.
to succeed with that you need to focus on the whole consumer an all his needs and not just this small portion of his interests.

there is a new generation in the internet what is not focused on generating traffic or designing web pages. these new generation is completely focused on sale optimizing.
and thatīs good - because we need professions for traffic generation and professionals for traffic monetizing.

the "traffic generator/marketing specialist-hybrid" is not existing anymore and he canīt compete with focused "traffic generators" OR "marketing specialists".
today you have to decide WHO and WHAT you are and be 100% perfect in ONLY that.
Again agreeing with me. You can't sell porn to people who can jerk off to free porn. Whether you can sell ad space to non-porn companies is another business, not the adult business. Whether it will be as profitable as selling porn is another debate. 1-100 selling a $30 membership certainly made more money that 1-10,000 clicks selling another product.

Once mainstream advertisers on porn sites, the adult business is screwed. Unless people can afford to produce content just to give it away for free to get views. Which is what some Youtubers can do.

This is about the adult business, so unless you can show your ad space sales generate a better income than porn did. We will stick to our stats.
