Northern & Shell was a swerve ball, I knew you would say something stupid without doing the research so through it in. The porn mags were a small part, now do a search on Richard Desmond.

Swank I do know about and it was a big company with many high selling mags. Still in the game with paysites. Had an owner with a name that was the same as some New York Mafia crime bosses.

Very successful company with more than magazines. do some more research.

David Sullivan and David Gold as far as I know owned Goldstar, so you listed Sullivan and Goldstar seperately as if its two things.. but I might be wrong here of course... again, very little info, considering David Gold sold a charter airline for just 4.4m pounds a few years ago, his porn stuff must have not really made him that much money
Do some more research, they were linked on some things and not on others. both had separate businesses. Do more research before you make a statement.

Paul Raymond Publications was 19m profit in 1999 according to the guardian. The guardian also claims in 2001 it released 8 of the top 10 mags in UK, which would hint towards those other companies like Goldstar for example making less than Paul Raymond...
That would of been $30 million profit then. Take inflation, factor in online and you can see why 3 years profit would of been a good price.

So all in all, I am not finding anything huge as you keep claiming... that is much bigger than anything online....
You're ignoring something.

BTW, regarding your wisdom about alexa stats.... http://siteanalytics.compete.com/pornhub.com+tube8.com/
Shows a trend.

Also, brazzers.com might be dropping in traffic, good thing we have more than one site and good thing we learn more about conversion every day
Want to list them so we can see there traffic growth or decline?
