Nice thoughtful post Squealer. This one in particular:
"1) You make bandwidth and hosting extremely expensive."
Def where it all began to go bad. That one thing could def turns things around.
It really is an iffy, volatile, ever changing biz as you say.
About all you can do is try to build sites faster than the product you are selling goes stale. (from an affil perspective) The worse thing is to keep tweaking forever on one site as I used to do. Build it and forget is what the old schoolers used to say and that is still pretty true today.
Ya got to get a lot of different sites out there. Mainstream and adult. That is the best diversity against all the pitfalls that inevitably come along espec in the adult biz.
Build sites. All types. That is really our job as affils if we want to stay floating longterm.
A lot of what the old pioneers preached is still true today.
Anyhow going to bed. Thanks for reading my long winded stuff
