There isn't as much point in doing this now because those sites and surfers are becoming more rare. Even if you find a great converting site you are at the mercy of too many external variables. Will a rip get posted somewhere next week? Are Manwin's tubes going to start popping up on the first page of Google with 100 video from the member area tomorrow?

In 2011 the feat of sending 400 hits and making 15 $29.95 signups in one day without spamming seems like some kind of miracle. But in 2009 even it was easily obtainable if you knew what you were doing.

I've stopped making new sites dedicated to selling pay sites. I've stopped putting out those feelers looking for the next high converting site or traffic source to sell pay sites to. I won't take down what I already have because it's still profitable but I think it's time to sell something that some asshole next to me isn't giving away for free.

As for the assholes giving away the product and destroying my business they shouldn't count on getting any business from me in the future. I have a long memory.
