I think it comes down to the fact that anything worthwhile isn't easy. If you know how to make goth sites convert, they will really impress you. If not, they won't go anywhere. One problem is that it is hard to promote gothic stuff to people coming from mainstream porn sites.
People looking for goth porn, just like people looking for fine-art erotica or some fetishes, want something real and not something opportunistic. Likewise, people looking for free porn, mainstream porn, etc. don't necessarily react well to goth porn. Many of them haven't heard of it, and many of them just expect something else.
So, the trick with goth porn is to get the right traffic, and filter it well. I find that goth-oriented AVS sites work well. The traffic they send, and that some other sites send, converts very well on my sites. If you want to make sure that the traffic converts well for you overall, then make sure you redirect people who don't want real goth porn somewhere else. Then everybody wins.
It is my firm belief that the goth niche is growing. As more of us get into it, there will be more content, and more traffic. People will come to understand what it is about, and people who already understand it will finally be able to find sites. My sales have been growing very impressively, and the demand for content is also up. Now is the time to get in on an interesting niche that has so far remained quite small. I am glad I'm one of the leaders, at least in a few small ways.
