Reality for me is this...3 years ago I had 1.2 million uniques a day. Today I'm lucky to have 50,000 uniques a day. Yet my sales are still about 1/2 of what they were from my tgps. So I have 1/24th the traffic and 1/2 the sales.
That tells me that at one time we tgps' ruled when it came to teenage boys looking for porn. The tubesites stole all my useless teenage traffic. I kept the majority of my productive traffic.
And since I never based my business model off of selling ad spots or blindlinkng traffic etc. but rather on selling paysite memberships...I'm doing great.
So no, they aren't gonna be the death of real TGP/MGP's And when the dust finally settles on the legalities of what they are doing, the real TGP's will still be here
