Not everybody pays out all of that for every sale. For instance...one of the consequences of pirate sites like pornhub is that they really hurt my freesites. I can't compete with full length stolen movies.

So...while that hurts my affiliate work badly...it also hurts my affiliates sending traffic to me. Sucks.
So your freesites have been leapfrogged by other freesites. Welcome to the evolving world of business.

But, since I have worked hard on making sure that people searching for Claudia Marie will find her site...the amount of type in traffic is now through the roof. Affiliates only account for maybe 10% of my sales these days.
Are you exceptional or a rare thing?

You were telling us about the millions you made as an affiliate. The only reason you made millions was. MILLIONS were being paid out to affiliates. Every business needs to market it's product, but not to the cost this industry chose and not by giving away the product in huge amounts. Because it's a slippery slope and though you don't like it now. It will never stop.

So right there Paul...I'm NETTING (profit) $55,240 a month just off my type in traffic.
Then why are so many getting out, diversifying and moaning about Tubes taking their income?

Or are you a one off?

What ever you say you're making Robbie. This business paid out far too little for the product. They thought so long as the traffic kept coming the income would as well. And kept that their number one priority. Only to be trumped by sites that today legally can afford to give away the product we used to sell.

The solution is no longer more traffic, what is? Long term nothing. For a few they will make some living from selling porn, for some there will be a living in Dating and Cams. Until they go the free route. And don't say they never will, we thought that about pre-recorded porn. Free Dating sites are already out there and it only needs someone to come up with a better formula to the My Free Cams to see that sector fall.

I keep asking, but you keep ignoring me. How about a pass to have a look at your site? I do know good porn when I see it and if you're right can write you a glowing report on the site.
