lol!

The skin and the traffic offer are pretty funny. It's obviously designed to send a message to everybody. They don't need to skin GFY for business. Nor do they need to make a free offer of traffic.

They have no need for anybody on here. As I once said before...Brazzers has a traffic source that is bigger than all affiliates put together at this point.

As for the traffic they have? Hey...if it's so great...why sell it? Why not monetize it themselves? Open up some other niche paysites other than just big tits and let the money roll!

Reality is that with ONE BILLION impressions a day they can throw up most anything and make sales. I know I used to when I had 1.2 million uniques a day.

But for some reason they want to sell the traffic...which leads me back to my theory that 90 + % of that is teen boys with no credit card even if they wanted to buy a membership to something (which they don't need to anyway with full scenes right there in front of their steaming naked little eyeballs)

Pretty valid point and I knew it would come out. First, I'm convinced a priori that the traffic is crap, but testing it for free wouldn't hurt me. In any case, it would confirm my assumption, so no loss.

But let's play some devil's advocate. The same you're saying could be said for TGPs in the last years, if their traffic converted, why would they sell it? I know I had shitloads of sales with TGP traffic. Gee, I made 3 sales in the last 4 hours with a free listing at The Hun. It depends on many factors, but I had horrible experiences with some TGPs and great experiences with other TGPs, it's all trial and error. Going further: why Google sells traffic? Why programs have affiliates? The easy answer is there are advantages and disadvantages in every approach, you measure both and choose a course of action.

Again, I'm sure the traffic is crap, those that know me knows why I say it and I've wrote lots of logical steps on why it won't work in the mid-term for most people including the tube sites themselves. I might be wrong, but that will need to be proven in the future, for now I just can make logical assumptions.


@ RK
I'm trying not to point fingers here, I know what's going on, and some of what I posted was an "elegant" way to say what you're saying
