Ok, you got me there. I'm clueless in that.

You need them to attach to you, so you can sell them forever, any flavor of porn or any product - and not just this single page right now.
Can it be implemented on paysites?

That was my point, even with all the Music File Sharing and free downloads, Music is still up in sales, same with Mainstream Movies.

Why can't the same be for our industry?

no overall sales are down still. even paid digital formats can't bring it back.

How are people blaming Tax season over slow sales?

.
because they are ignorant and always looking for something to blame slow sales on.

The only way "tax season" could affect our sales is if all of our customers were accountants and they were too busy working to be able to look at porn.

It's dumb, very dumb. We did it to ourselves, plain and simple.
"We" being loosely used. Some of us here did, some of us didn't. 95% of my advertising over the last 10+ years was non nude. The only nudity I really use is on tgps advertising and plugging rss feeds into blog sites.

But I can thank the rest of you for killing it for me too :winkwink:


However, as much as we talk about tube sites, full length videos etc... my sales have dropped over the last couple years and I attribute it more to the credit card crunch, people being maxed out, their available credit being reduced, people losing their jobs and buring up their credit cards etc....

99% of our sales hinge on credit card transactions going through. That is where I feel (at least for me promoting cam sites) the biggest cause of the reduction of signups has come from.

Of course... paysites do offer some different challenges, however they also have unique money holes that many companies simply don't know about, some big ones too.

Most programs are busy creating kick ass content/experiences for members and dealing with affiliates. Which is what they should be doing. But, because of that dedication they often miss the money holes that aren't always talked about or fully understood.

Hit me up next week sometime and I will gladly share more information with you.. webmaster.skills at gmail dot com

There are differences in mainstream and adult films yes, but at the core what makes you go see or rent a movie? A great 30 second- 1 minute trailer. Thats it, no more.
The biggest difference between adult and mainstream, when it comes to clip length, is that
nobody watches a two hour porn film. They are watching while jacking, so they only watch
or ten to twenty minutes anyway - long enough to bust a nut. If they can bust a nut for free,
watching ten minute clips, there's no reason to buy anything.

Hello Doc.

Agent 488 03-29-2010 11:28 AM

I would guess it means not monetizing traffic as it could have been monetized.
