I don't mean to be insulting, I'm being real here. If I sound bitter and jaded, I'm sure you can understand why.
good observation/question Violet. for some webmasters solo model sites are all they know so they keep to the niche they know even as things are in decline. solo girl sites are still relatively cheap to start up versus other niches, especially if the model is getting paid by a % of profits.

and the truth is there are very few solo sites being launched these days because even webmasters in the niche don't think it's worth the aggravation considering the lower revenues they now produce.

there's a lot of interest in Gisele because she's already a star, has a big following, she's very low risk.

the days of who can nab the next hot model for bragging rights/ego - that's done, when solo model sites were capable of making big money you did have some jealousy/envy I think but not these days - I wish there were more sites around with hot models because it's best for everybody, it would re-invigorate the niche if there were new girls coming onto the scene regularly.

guys can go on MFC now and actually chat with girls who 5 years ago would have been big solo site stars. most of those girls don't want solo sites, they are making enough on MFC and doing it with more privacy than a solo site BUT the MFC girls who think they aren't going to be found out by friends and family because MFC can block their home state/city are deluding themselves. i can google any MFC model and find videos of her on forums, tube sites and file sharing sites.
