So without a Tube site owners giving us honest ratios we're all guessing at the ratios and earnings.

Yes not all traffic is equal. Even in the days of only offline porn people would wander in to have a look around. People would take mags off a top shelf to browse, that's why lots of people put them in plastic wrappers. Someone posted that his friend had a Newsstand and 100 people would look at a magazine before 1 would buy. Well that was BS and common sense tells you, I don't need to say why.

Still no one ever expects to sell 1-1. And the more people you have looking the more you sell to. However there is a limit to it. When you have 20 million a day on one Porn Tube and do the numbers, you realise that if 1-100 of those people were spending 10% the online porn business would be worth much more than it is today.

200,000 x $3 = $600,000 Turn Over a day x 1 year = $219,000,000 a year off one Tube site.

If that were the case, content would be a lot more than it is today. Porn Tube sites would be buying exclusive content.

Sadly in the real world we all know ST23 sells clicked traffic around $3 a 1,000. And if 1-19 are clicking.

20,000,000 = 1,052,631 clickers = $3,156 in revenue for 20,000,000 people interested in porn.
With a million surfers on a site that's $157.80 a day.

If my calculations are wrong, please put them right. If you dispute my figures, ask PR why they do so badly with their Tube site.
