Mike, while out walking I was thinking about your post and if there's a way to make a mathematical equation on the value of online Tube porn and therefore online porn.]

Taking A as being the numbers of surfers, B the conversion rate of surfer to link clicks, C the value of the traffic. Maybe someone with a more analytical mind would have different ideas of what to factor in, still is it possible?

So many talk about the millions of surfers, ultimately millions of surfers cost money if they don't turn into millions of $$$$. With Pornhub we had Fabian saying he has 20 million a day. The same 20 million or a mix of the same 100 million? Can't be 20 million new people every day.

Taking Pimproll's stats and the price of traffic. 20 million wouldn't make a lot of money. It will make some but not a lot. Is their traffic typical of today? No one questioned the conversion to banner hits and not one questioned the conversions on the join page.

At that rate PH have to be doing a lot better. Still is it possible to make the calculation based on the evidence we have. Because pointing at a company and saying "They do well, because they have loads of traffic." Is a far worse way of calculating, which is ST23's and so many others reasoning.
