See 2009 and 2010 for a glimpse of what will happen in 2011. It will just continue.

The surfer will increasingly learn free is better than paid and increasingly get harder to convert. Tube traffic will grow and will become worse to convert.

A few larger companies and affiliates will pick up the slack left by those going out of the business but it will not make up for the loss of business over all. Not much because if these people had much they wouldn't be leaving.

Dating sites might provide an income for some but the vast majority will see it as not for them or learn most of the paid ones are a con. Some enterprising lawyer might realise these guys are a cash cow and start milking them for misleading advertising and emailing. There was a thread a few days ago about someone suing sites for sending lying spam.

Web sites will again appeal to a minority, as more affiliates go to this option the sales for individuals might fall. Unless people dropping out of the business make a difference. But not much, as said before.

The business model of throwing as much traffic at sites selling what Tubes give away for free will continue.

Piracy will get worse.

Other than that. I'm now able to fly as I'm off the bottle food, will be getting a dog in April, probably a boxer, and Eva will keep moaning at me because she's bored with being a housewife.

So for me a pretty good 2011.

Did you notice none of the "More bucks" crew have given any clue where it's coming from? Waiting for some clown to tell us he's putting up a lot of new sites. That will be exactly the same as sites already up. LOL
