I'm not going to name them, however any site that paid $300 - $500 a solo girl scene and expected a shooter to pull something good out the bag is pretty well sure to have low quality. I remember watching a shooter shoot for ATK, Mayers Money and a couple of other sites and his shooters weren't good and the work was pretty much point and shoot.

The problem for affiliates is too few great sites. How many Alsscans, Bang Buses, Milf Hunters are there and how many affiliates sending them traffic?

I 100% agree with that statement.
The problem for most of these sites is getting them up to scratch. the cost of making them convert and retain better is a lot more than the cost of throwing traffic at them. They have to face the reality of is it cheaper to get 100% more hits or make the site perform 100% better?

If a site is converting at 1-500 of the traffic that hits it, with 50,000 hits a day. How much will it cost to convert 2-500 and how much would it cost to get 100,000 hits a day?

For years we went down the traffic route. The end result is all around. 1,000s of poor to at medium sites that convert at 1-500. The traffic that will buy at any site is diluted between them. So buyers are spread thin. The solution was more cheap sites and send more traffic.

Would it had been better to raise the game to a level where opening a site needed good to great content, concentrate more resources on conversion and retention than feeding the Internet with free content? Because that's what 90% of traffic generation is about. Better sites, less of them and more money for the guys who can perform.

I know it's probably too late today. So we're left with a shrinking industry.

And if I couldn't of produced better content, then I know I would of been one of the casualties.

Take a rest and see what you think of them.
