I was wondering why that was - my suspicion was that there's too much free porn, as many others here have noted (and I readily admit to probably giving away too much free content myself). So I put up a poll on my primary site asking visitors why they weren't ponying up some cash for a subscription. Not too many replies so far, but here's the current results.
I'm satisfied with all the free porn on the Internet, no need to pay for it. 35.0%
Quality, quantity, and price are fine, but I'm broke. 25.0%
I want videos, not photos. 17.5%
Price - quality & quantity are good but the price is too high. 15.0%
Quality - photos aren't good enough. 7.5%
Quantity - not enough photos. 0.0%
Total votes: 40
Apparently not too many people are willing to answer polls either, as only 40 have responded out of 50,000+ visitors since the poll went up. Too busy jerking off maybe.

Very good post, I liked that. That really seems to be the truth. People have been complaining about things getting bad since I joined the industry in '05. But now, it does seem that even the people you'd least expect to here complaints from, are complaing how bad thigns are as well. This year sounds like a major downfall for many. Of course, some guy will post after me saying he's got a 1:30 ratio. But that is not the average, and most likely is a good at PPC marketing.
Just out of curiosity, is this ratio from TGPs? I'm getting 1k daily uniques to my solo girl blog, and not seeing very much revenue from it. I make about 1 sale per month right now. So blogs must be the new TGPs now. As far as ratios go. I guess the only way to survive now, is to have mass amounts of traffic. And that can take time.
