I agree. But for me and everyone I know who drinks bottled water...it comes down to what my senses tell me. Bottled water tastes better, it doesn't have a smell, and I know it's been run through a filter. So that means at the very least the sediments are no longer there.
In most places, bottled water is a superior product to what comes out of the tap.
I know that marketing people out in the mainstream sometimes think that everyone is dumb. But in the case of bottled water, I think it's more a "better safe than sorry" idea in people's minds that sells the water.
Porn has no such health value. So it really can't be compared in my opinion.
I think that we all know that as long as porn was NOT free to the majority of people...it sold like hotcakes. We all got rich off of it.
And now that anybody can have full scenes for free? It requires that sites do a lot more than what they did before...(mostly live interaction via webcam and/or messaging, etc.)
That's why we make more sales with CM's blog at
http://theclaudiamarieblog.com working synergistic-ally with her twitter and facebook accounts& our band website than all of our affiliates put together can bring in.
People think it's all free. And the actual marketing of it now requires a more "real" and "viral" type approach.
Folks have already been there and done that with TGP's, review sites, and even tubes now. They don't seem to even want to think about clicking a link on one of those sites anymore.
But you plant it in their heads (like the movie "Inception") and SUGGEST it to them...and then they go out of their way to google it up themselves and find the site? NOW you got something.
