You haven't been in business very long have you?

Of course they make sales or else nobody would be buying their spots. I think that's fairly obvious if you just open your eyes
If a given spot on a Tube converts well today, no one knows how it will do tomorrow.

And that's the problem and has been for the last 10 years. As traffic grew, conversion ratios got worse. Today they're awful and the deluge of traffic doesn't hide that. Sales of a repeat buy product rely on customer satisfaction. You can't get that with traffic, ads or tweaking tours or banners. The product will be the only way to get customer satisfaction.

Stay one step ahead, innovate your product offering and any source will provide sales. Just because YOUR PRODUCT doesn't convert on tubes, doesn't mean that the problem is the tube traffic quality. It is likely that your product needs to be tweaked or thrown out altogether. There is nothing wrong with admitting your product sucks and can't sell on the market. What is very dangerous is living in denial and not hustling to bring innovation to the table.
Yes, agree 100%. When will Brazzers start doing that?

That being said, we will buy and or work with all affiliates to make them more money than ever ! We have some crazy new products in the pipe
If you really want to maximise profits and get the best affiliates with the best traffic. Work with customers. They decide whether they buy, stay or return. Not anyone else. Filling a bucket with a hole in the bottom doesn't work.

I hope your crazy new products are something innovative, different and appealing. Because God knows online porn needs it.
