if the consumers are getting more sophisticated, then does that mean all the free porn hasn't really corrupted the market? That those with basically no money would surf and find the free, while those that that do spend money are being more selective?
has the bar to enter the biz been raised then from your observations about content?
traffic can certainly be picked up and bought easily (just may cost you), but as you said, shitty content on a website with alot of traffic can still make money.

I have to agree to disagree again....who knows what the surfer really wants?.....you are soooo right the You Tube/ My Space/Porno Tube systems have changed the surfer as we see it, on You Tubes networks I have personally 7 million views to short clips, surfer would send private messages in the thousands saying they wanted more and since you cant show it all, they wanted the rest...."send me the entire clip/Scene/movies etc".....what did that tell us? For me personally it means that this surfer prefers to "drive thru" Starbucks not walk in and sit down or what ever...lol
So I guess it means also that they don?t want to join the ?site? or bother with all that recurring billing?they see what they like and they want it NOW. That girl that guy or moment, if you really think about it makes perfect sense we spend all this time making galleries to sell our members sites, with girls and scenes, that are almost NEVER on the tour pages?so why would the surfer join if they liked that girl?.or clip they saw?
If you don?t think that DVD will go the same way as 8 track tape...you are fooling yourself......and it will be sooner than later...
Mutt is right deals have been being made by Internet companies, from the start 4 years ago Smashbucks saw the writing on the wall, and has gone out to make deals with not mom and pop companies, there are HUGE companies that have made millions in this video biz, one company alone we have just signed a joint venture deal with has over 14,000 titles....that is no mom and pop operation....lol Cant wait to fire out these announcements......
But it could be argued that "traffic is king" but also look at what is really going on with those traffic resources, look at the "new" systems within a year have taken over a huge chunk of the adult market share of traffic, those engines have to be looked at very carefully....they don?t seem to be going anywhere soon....
Well what ever it is, I have to say we are excited about the future of our biz and the growth and changing of the industry...
The smart ones will figure it out.....
As for AVN I will be making a huge post with announcements of all the studio deals they played a huge roll in, for a company like AVN to go out and help us like that is something we will never ever forget and will always support.
