PR_Glen if that's the state of Adult Internet marketing how do you think the new methods should shape up?

I don't think its a matter of shaping up or not. My statements were more geared towards ratios and older techniques. We have plenty of webmasters who get decent sales from tube style sites, but most of them are aware that because they have LOTS of content up that the ratios climb and they have to work harder for that sign up. It's just a different marketing strategy really. I find that tube people usually do better with free joins or 1$ joins as opposed to 3.99 because their traffic is used to getting things either free or cheap. Offer something at a discount and give them the impression that its a good deal and you will get your sales.
As for not being able to market unless you 'believe' or 'purchase the product yourself' I'm sure there are some fashion designers and car salesmen that may argue different!
Market it like you would be buying it if you weren't selling it and leave the beliefs to the religious and you will do just fine ;)
