Those people should be out of this business in another year or two unless in a niche market. In Jan at the Vegas show, a lot of the BRO programs admitted they were down 40-75%. Why they would not make some changes is beyond me. Especially if you OWN the content. I milk mine over and over and over. Sites, clip stores, licensing deals. It's like a gold mine.
If you can't innovate, you deserve to be out of business.

Saying it's not dying in ANY means is not exactly correct.
It's definitely dying in SOME means.
I have lots of respect to Jay as he's a man who means what he does and does what he means plus he knows much more than me about the SEO etc., but if he's hurting, something is wrong.
I'm VERY lucky we don't produce the very much GENERIC (but still say high quality expensive) porn with the free substitute everywhere.
The trade off for maintaining the whole building and all the pain connected with live broadcast and organisation is that the conversions are NOT worse, the retention is NOT worse, but there's LESS traffic to exploit, unless you start to cooperate with the DMCA crusaders running illegal tube sites, which I won't do, because they're doing something very dumb.
Next steps - finalizing all the very much needed promos for bigsisterlive.com, releasing brand new sites in rare niches (coming up very soon) under the brand new sponsor program, then probably setting up also a clip / micropayment site for the whole concept.
