Comparing the returns on 1000 uniques is the way to the answer. We hear 1-500 clicks on a banner lots of times. If very unique clicked once on a banner that would be $70 per 1000
people per month or what ever people want to say a unique is.
We all know the real figure is more likely to be 1-10 uniques clicking on a banner. "Which brings it down to $7 per 1000
people per month. As no one will tell us what the return is on uniques we have to go by Pimproll's Tube stats. They were so awful they are giving up the idea of selling porn site memberships and selling the traffic.
typical of traffic or just their traffic and Tube?

Even so, comparing real stores to online porn is completely different. I guarantee that online porn sales for both big companies and affiliates would be huge even today if surfers had a quick and easy way to pay with cash..

Why is it completely different? This has been the cry for years. Shops and Internet are only a delivery vehicle. Nothing more.
Wishing for something you don't have and unlikely to have is my job. I wish for the ban of all online porn. Neither will happen.

Also, I do agree that the free porn module is killing the business and if I could still promote with censored images to a join page or just join/landing pages alone along with good selling text I would. But every single day I have to keep up on what's new so that I'm not relying on saved money to cover expenses..

I knew it killed magazines sales, saw it hurting video and cable. Still never imagined that sites like Porn.com and PH would be giving away the milk to sell some people a cookie. And then be lauded as great.
The problem is the trend and no one has told us that yet.
Are the returns per 1,000 the same today as they were last year? We all know surfers are not a bottomless pit. We compensated for poorer ratios with more traffic. Then hit the wall of the new good traffic that keeping up with the losses. Is that repeating itself?
