Quite frankly...I think the fact that you can download most paysites complete members areas off of torrents is killing conversions across the board for paysites.
Anyway, just wanted to say that just because people post on GFY and claim to be in the industry because they read GFY and found out about affiliate programs and signed up...well, the actual people in the porn business shouldn't have their intellect compared to that.

i've been in this business since the beginning. think the opposite. i think that far too many people are total retards, that are being mistaken for being "smart".
again.. download this... download that... tube this... tube that... .etc etc etc. it's ALWAYS been the same shit since 1996.
- "Oh my god, free passwords are everywhere... why will people pay for porn anymore"
- "holy shit... look at all this free content in usenet groups... why will people pay for porn anymore"
- "what the fuck... everyone is using so many exit consoles, resetting home pages etc... why would anyone pay for porn anymore"
- "spammers are ruining it for everyone... people are pissing off so many surfers, they're going to stop buying porn completely"
- "Napster, Limewire and others are making it easy to find any free content you want. Why would people pay for porn anymore"
- "American Express and Discover and Paypal stopped processing for Porn... next will be Visa and Mastercard and then its ALL OVER!!!"
- "Oh my fucking god!! have you seen this new thing called "Google Image Search"???? Fuck... its over. Why will people pay for porn anymore"
- "TGPs are killing the industry with too much free content"
....... skip forward a few years
- "Tubes are killing the industry"
I could make this list a 1000 items long and people would NEVER get it.
as i said to you before.... pornhub.com, tube8, keezmovies etc al aren't killing it in the search engines with phrases like "porn", "porn movies" etc because of "stolen videos"... neither are the other usual suspects that are ranking well for the most popular porn related phrases and grabbing 10+ million searches a day while people bitch about something they can't change. while people are bitching, these guys are going after traffic and taking your traffic. and how? because they simply have a slightly better understanding of how to rank for those phrases and how to beat the competition than the average idiot in this industry.
its full on, 100% retarded to bitch about shit you will never change. you can't change a business model that works. if your business model stops working as a result... then you're fucked.
