In my opinion, the "one-timer" has been bashed around and has been made useless by the current trends of adult industry. The real consumer is one looking for what they want, somehow finding it and sticking with it until they want something else. It's that simple.
Granted, giving away a shit load of free content is insane. However, changing marketing tactics due to current trends is not.
The days of old are gone. There's plenty of people out there willing to spend cash on something they want to jerk to. And there's many more just wanting to jerk off.

I guess my problem is that I can't see a repeat customer being a repeat customer if every time he comes to a free site, he gets more than enough fresh content to satisfy his desire. We all want repeat customers, but they are a small part of the larger porn market, IMHO.
Let me give you a great example, real world: Bell Expressvu Sat-tv service in Canada has adult channels. Typical PPV movie (such as College Invasion, or Seymore Butts) is $9.99 a shot. They also offer 30 minutes "shots" of themed content for $3.99. The reality is that most guys left alone don't need a whole porn movie to get satisfaction, Expressvu spotted and addressed a marketplace. So the reality is that it takes 30 minutes or less for most guys to get the satisfaction they are look for from porn.
Giving away 10 minutes of porn, and perhaps making it possible for the punter to get to 3 of those clips would be more than enough for more of the guys to do what they are going to do.
This is for "general porn". Now, when you start to talk about solo girls or say public flashing or celeb content, the guys may not have their dicks in their hands directly, as they aren't just looking for sex but a connection, a thrill, or something similar.
The reality is that porn isn't a single product sold in a single way. Some ways work better than others. Old ideas die, new ideas come up. This is why I am so interested to see these 10 minute clip pages, I am really curious as to what is being done that overcomes the basic principals of selling porn.
