How many rating sites are out there now.. If tgp's stop converting they will just switch to another model like review sites.. then what? your pumping a cheaper product because you feel you get more sales out of it..
I have talked to many owners of sites and a lower monthly didnt mean a longer retention because we have all tried the $10 a month deal
I do agree better products are being produced now so prices should be going up not down 
How much does a video cost these days.. |
Wadup RV!
Nope, GUBA doesn't own Videobox. Totally separate companies. There is a tie-in with one of the partners, but that's a non-issue here. All content on Videobox is fully licensed, over 1000 downloadable DVDs.
Review sites are popping up left and right, I'd say there's over 100 review sites of decent quality (fairly honest), and more than 40 of good quality. You'd see many more if it was easier to start one.
Point is that honest review sites will continue to push sites of better value (if they're honest). Sites are already building high quality and inexpensive pricing models to rank high with review sites. This will increase dramatically over the next 2-3 years. The TGP/MGP/Free model should never die, but it will be harder to make money.
Not all sites that have a "low cost" model fail. In fact, I know plenty that are succeeding quite well. Beyond just price, it still takes a solid product to garnish the big rewards from review traffic. In the end, solid sites and competitive pricing is where our industry is headed.
