I agree. A paysite with normal costs producing $500,000 turn over will have enormous expenses. Was he talking $ or clicks? ;)

A free site doing the same would be tough to get to but the profit margin would be far more. Less staff, less content, less BW unless he hosts everything. Less everything except getting the traffic.

The paysite has one very big expense, getting enough traffic to sign up 35 a day. Not a lot but think about the costs.

The problem is getting a free site to produce $1370 in revenue every day.

The question as always is too vague.

MrLuvr traffic is not king, selling it something is king.
