2007 was the year I suddenly saw my money level off and go "sideways" for the first time since 1996 (it always grew every year with revshare). And 2008 saw my money cut in half. 2009 came down another third. And in 2010 and 2011 I found that selling a membership to any paysite was damn near impossible as their entire members areas were all widely available for free and everybody in the world knows it.

Site rips are used for the offline business, re-encoded and burned on separate DVD's then sold in third world countries to people and kids who have no Internet access. Most of them would even jerk off to a tranny, because they have no porn preference or whatsoever.
However, those with Internet access, get bored with most of the professional porn. When I say "most", I mean that they have their favorite girls whose videos they look up on tubes. But there are real fans though, some buy memberships on their solo site.
Regular user will never, ever download a site rip. They're interested in short videos, like 5-10 minutes max. So you can't say that your signups are low because of that.
You just need a good business model, if the girl is pretty - you can pretty much make somewhat of a blog, with free galleries and videos up to like 10 minutes. But if they like the girl, they will buy the DVD compilations, some accessories, cam 2 cam, or whatsoever. Small shit gets sold, and by displaying some of the content to guests, you can display advertisements as well. So money will come either way.
