Bangbros advertises heavily on tube sites. With the amount of traffic tubes get, there are probably very few porn surfers who haven't seen their tours. Tube sites work on volume, so even if their ratios are 1:10,000, they don't care, they are still making money and so is Bangbros.

The pool of surfers that would have bought a Bangbros membership is fished out. It is probably time to stop sending traffic to them and move on to less exposed programs. If you continue to do what every other website is doing, then yes, expect your ratios to plummet. There are only so many potential Bangbros sales to be had.

Very nice thoughts MrLuvr... What's interesting the most to me, however, is the sudden drop of the sales, obviously right after their switch to new system. Why just right then? Why not before, or few months after? I am sure the tubes are one of the factors which are poisoning this industry, but they cannot be the only reason to see the drop of the sales. I would like to hear what the officials from Bangbros have to say on this matter, especially clarify what actually happened? The odds for 'sudden drop of sales' are just too low, there must be something else which we don't know.
