No offense, but you said you are working on your mainstream sites
now. Its mean you don't have much experience in mainstream, I have been into mainstream for years and trust me you don't get more than 10-12 months of revenue for an average site. There are some other factors as well which affect the price but most of the time you dont get more than 10 months.
If you get 12 months revenue, you are lucky.

Oh' you really think that in adult no one has money to buy? In adult people simply don't buy because they can make similar site with similar revenue in less money than for what site is being sold. Because adult sites need less effort.
Did you ever saw people in mainstream trading traffic? Here in adult you can easily make a site/blog from zero to 1k a day just by trading traffic and links.

Did you read my post? I said unless you have a new/exciting idea or a lot of money you can not be successful in mainstream, and FYI YouTube and MySpace both were very exciting and new ideas of their time. They were trend setters and parents of Video Sharing and Social Networking concept.

For these, you need cash, a lot of cash. And that is what i said in my post. If you don't have cash either produce a great new concept or come back to adult shit.

Wish you good luck with it. If you have done something considerable in adult, I am sure you will know which one is harder very soon. I have much experience with both and I have stated my opinion before.
