I mean, if I can just break even at my own front door, I'd call that a win. But if I'm forced to upsell, cross-sell, email, etc. just to break even, it's a loss. Besides, how is this affecting the consumer? Or does anyone care?
I'd really like to hear from a few brokers on this question. Are you serving the publisher or the advertiser?

If it's video on demand, then NO you cannot break even on purchased traffic, I would dare to say not from from any broker, including google adwords. If you can break even after cross selling,email etc I would call you lucky. It is a well known fact that porn site memberships have declined dramtically since tube sites came on the scene. It has gotten so bad that I have begun turning away buyers who want to send traffic to porn paysites. I know they won't make a profit so why waste their money? Dating on the other hand is very profitable with bought traffic, as are cam sites. Skimmed traffic has rarely been profitable for paysites, even 5 years ago it was tough, now it's pretty much impossible.
