QFT

As a pornographer, consumer of porn and dirty old man. I see the problem with so many sites and videos. They have ticked all the boxes, followed all the webmastering rules and left out the obvious ingredient. Building desire enough to get the viewer to buy anything or even come back.

Orgasm.xxx, Met Art, Alsscan, Sapphic, and some others, have gone the final yard and got over the line. The question to ask is why?

I high lighted a few words to single them out.

Innovation takes original thought and most webmasters don't possess that. Innovation also requires knowledge of the product, how many don't know if a site, tour, clip works until they see the stats? A porn consumer knows in seconds.

Invest I know I've said this before but it's not changing. Most online porn businesses never had the budget or will to invest in anything but driving traffic to a site that simply didn't convert well enough. Great design, great layout, all the boxes ticked. Except the samples, no different from 100s of other sites and no desire built to get a sale.

Copy In the recent posts by the people behind porntube.com, and Far-L it was obvious, if they're telling the truth, that some sites convert on Tubes. and some think if they copy the rules and guide lines they will do the same with their content. They don't realise it's not rules that convert a surfer. It's porn.

Rinse and repeat like if it worked yesterday it will work tomorrow. And with everyone copying your rinse and repeat, go figure out why it didn't.

Webmastering, traffic, design, programming can all be done fairly cheaply or bought in for a reasonable cost. The one thing that can't be found easily is the talent, skill and budget to shoot great porn that stands out above the rest. Be it Ex Gf or Playboy level.

Yes, even shooting a movie that's supposed to be an ex girlfriend doing something naughty or shooting a selection of amateur pictures isn't easy or cheap. Which is why some are trawling FB for their content. They simply can't afford a professional supplier.
