Rabidwolf. You're clueless.

You are probably making a few bucks. Might even be making a nice living. But the truth is out there for all to see. Porn revenue except in Webcam and Dating is falling. If those 2 sectors are growing at the same rate the others are falling I would be surprised.

I don't blame affiliates, I blame lazy sponsors who thought giving the product away was the best way to sell it.

I don't blame shooters, I blame sponsors who think a bad product will keep selling.

If I worked for a price too low, what do they work for.

The biggest mistake you make shows your ignorance of porn. The market didn't peak in 1980, far from it. If you had a clue when it peaked, you might of written a better flame.

Yes affiliates made a lot of money as a group. Some made a lot of money as individuals. Which is crazy. Paying people so much to give away a product that shouldn't be given away in order to sell it is insane.

Paying affiliates 10% max would not of resulted in one less sale, might of resulted in more. Yes you wouldn't be rich or well off or maybe even in this business. But if you need 50% + to survive with no or little cost incurred. Then you can be done with.

I don't blame you for this or other affiliates. I blame sponsors, the original ones who thought selling porn was hard and warranted such high payout.

Today all porn is suffering due to the amount of free porn. Whether it free legal porn or pirated. There's very little reason to buy.

If 2% of your surfers buy something, you're doing very very well. I suspect that's BS. If it's not it's in a niche that gets very very little traffic or you're very, very, very clever. But what you fail to understand is it could be 10% conversions.

Like everyone else, you flame and flame. Without saying anything.
