They aren't just flooding in numbers of unqualified clicks, plastering nothing but ads and pop ups, they aren't overloading them with content so they will just linger there get there fix and move on. They filter, qualify, lead and sell that surfer. They give them a taste of what we have then they forward them for the big sale and their ratios reflect that.
That's all true.
But then the surfer gets to the join page, cc at the ready, and his card gets rejected, as does his second card and even his third - all valid cards.
So webmaster ratios of join page hits to sales are getting worse by the week, however good their sales techniques are.

I'm not ready to jump what some call a sinking ship, but we have to be realistic about what's happening with porn sales right now.

edit: I should say attempted porn sales.
