The WWW Internet porn traffic bubble has gotten smaller though. It can be seen in the number of Affiliates available to us today. Less Affiliates because of 2257, 1000's of micro affiliates gone that were the true backbone of our Industry, creating far less global reach, less global exposure, less trades, less traffic moving around, less of everything. Yet porn production exploded at the worst time almost.

Sales are down not traffic. There are less affiliates because there are less sales being made and profit margins have shrunk for pretty much everyone over the last 10 years. I use to operate at a 85% profit margin, now I am closer to 50%. Mainly due to poor conversions, which is directly due to less people buying porn and just surfing it but mainly less people being able to buy because of no room on their credit card.

Now we're stuck with a shit ton of sites, and far less people to go around.

WOW
I think there is no doubt we have more porn traffic now then we did 10 years ago. What was the top 10 porn sites producing hits wise 10 years ago? Look at what the top 10 porn sites are doing now with hits. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the top 10 porn sites now generate more hits a day then all of the porn sites did back in 2000.
I'll just do USA, don't want to skew the results with all of the shit country users who came on later.
# of internet users in 2000: 108,096,800
# of internet users in 2009: 259,561,000
So that many more users online now and you think there is less traffic going to porn sites now vs 2000? WOW.
