Maybe you have been in this business for 13 years, but seriously your site is not a good representation. Sure, niche like yours will always work. But no affiliate will become rich by promoting niches like that. That is the main issue.
Teen/Gonzo content producers are out of the game. The bigger ones, (Studios such as Zero Tolerance), sign exclusively with tube paysites or videobox, etc.
The 'middle-class' porn webmaster is screwed up. The Upper class (independent paysite owners, etc) are struggling to compete with the million deals between Holywood Studios (Content) and big paysites (Brazzers, VideoZ, etc.)
Bottom line is that within 2 years, we won't see much independent Teen/Gonzo paysites. They will all close. Even Studios and exclusive paysites such as Brazzers will struggle versus the Tube Sites. A lot more people are looking for amateur videos, and young adults love to show it for free... as they love showing their butt dancing on Youtube.
TGPs/MGPs are dying. Some of them sell their spots to Tube Sites... they are closing shop slowly.
CJ? Freesites? Pic Gallery? Movie Gallery? FLV Gallery? They are no competition to 20 minutes Tube videos. How can you advertise on a Tube site anyway? You want HD? Hell, 80% of the porn surfers don't care if the videos are not in 720/1080p, only the purists.
This industry is stupid. No respect, no restriction, nothing. This is not even capitalism, it's a jungle. In a good economy, you can't sell your milk under a certain price. There is a minimum salary, etc. This is to protect the economy which we are completely screwing up in Adult since 1999.
There will always be money in porn. But forget the affiliates making $50,000 per month like in 2000-2010.
