You can make sales with no content and just text links to sales pages if your offer is well done, well laid out and credible to the surfer.
Not when selling porn content. You can send traffic to a site for them to make a sale with their content. Sending traffic to a porn content site which has no content, ain't going to make you a lot of money.

Today the sites with the most traffic and sales have it for one reason. They have tons of content. It's free but the surfers are coming in the numbers they do because of the amount.

Surfers come to online porn for content. 999 out of a 1,000 will get moved around as traffic by content. 999 out of 1,000 of those who click a link will do so because of content.

999 out of 1,000 will pay based on the content they see on the tour.

1,000 out of 1,000 will stay a member because of the content inside the members area. They will then go on to buy from another site based on their satisfaction of the way they have been supplied with content in the past.

Yes you can't sell the greatest content with no traffic. You can't sell the greatest traffic with no content.

Yes you can sell bad content with good traffic. But you're an idiot if you do because you're losing money. To make the best ROI on your traffic you send it to the best converting/retaining sites. Which is usually based on

CONTENT.

We've been running online porn according to the idiots who think content is second to traffic for 12 years and watched sales decline against the numbers we're trying to sell to.

Now we see them plummeting and you guys are still trying to convince yourselves that traffic and marketing is more important than supplying the customer what he really needs and what 10,000 others can't do the same.

NoWhErE did the content or the words that sent the surfer to the site convince them it was real?

Thank you, proves my point. They bought because of the content.

When an industry thinks giving 1,000s as much as they want is called selling. Sou know something is wrong. When the product is a 20 minute high and they want to sell a months supply of it with the free model. You know some thing is very wrong.

now you can sit here and lick each others balls and asses till the sun goes down. But while you do, millions are getting off for free on content while you try to give more away. To get 1-5,000 or what ever, from these 1,00s to actually buy a months membership.

Thank you marketing Dept. Instead of selling to more you now sell to less.
