Yet more uniformed posts by people who have never run a successful paysite, using bad and misguided math and figures to come to a totally inaccurate conclusion.

It doesn't mean some are not shaving, it doesn't mean that some aren't struggling but it also doesn't mean your data is even close to being accurate.

Upsell revenue from inside the site (and again that's legit upsells) just on it's own can be huge if done properly, that's without other sources of income you've totally overlooked that are mentioned above.

There are far too many factors to take into account that you've totally overlooked. And of course the No1 remains the qualtity of the site which even without the stuff you've left out can change the figures hugely.

Bad sites with crap content, infrequent updates and advertising a niche that they really don't have the content for inside, of course will struggle and have to shave and/or lower payouts. However you're generalising and saying the BS figures apply to every paysite offering $30+ per signup is just plain daft.
