Great thread Ben, ok, here goes:
Given that the web is the world's first truly GLOBAL medium, I believe that there are many opportunities for webmasters to make more money.
In an era of free porn in abudance, I believe that we will witness a shift to more of a pay-as-you-go business model. Less money = less access time. This will be totally content driven. In essence, the surfer is paying you for the convienience of not having to search for more of the desired content elsewhere.
Livecam sites should continue to grow, not least since the live experience cannot be replicated on a tubesite or elsewhere. Such sites can and should develop mobile 'to go' versions of their offerings so that customers can interact with models whenever and, more importantly,
wherever they want.
On the subject of mobile, the US cellcos have yet to spread their legs with regard to adult content - which might account for the slow traction. Mainstream was the first to embrace mobile as a new medium. Usually it's us lot!
Personally, I believe that in an era of increasing convergence across multiple platforms, there are some wonderful opportunities ahead for owners of compelling content.
The mobile internet is roughly where its fixed-line cousin was five years ago. Build a Wapsite. Cross-promote your website. Promote your new wapsite on your website. Bid on mobile keywords in your niche. It's just like 2003 all over again!
As for optimistation here and now, if I were a content owner I would cherry pick the best processor in their respective space and offer them all (direct debit, credit/debit cards, SMS, Phone). In tandem with this, I would employ the geo-targeting technology that Joker refered to - a surfer from Poland is pleased to see
anything in polish! And thankfully, the pics on tour tour really do day more than a thousand words lol
Think Europe, yes, (and ensure you get paid in Euros lol), but also think Asia. The future powerhouses of Brazil, Russia, India and China represents fantantistic opportinites for business people in the online world, not just the offline one.
