I have been using the net for around 9 years, you could download free porn from Usenet newsgroups for as long as I can remember. There was plenty of it, spam free and new scans being posted all the time.

The fact that free porn was so easily available (remember web browsers were'nt what they are now) did not stop the adult industry flourishing into a huge multibillion dollar global business. The people subscribing to porn in the early days weren't just dumb surfers either, the majority could easily navigate Usenet if they wished. We're talking about uni students, computer techs etc.

What brought people to porn sites was that webmasters tailored an "experience" and sold it. My first site in 1996 was remarkably simple, yet by offering people a central repository of stories, contacts, some adult products and of course pictures I was able to make money out of the new porn industry. Later as time went on much more attention had to be paid to presenting something more than just content.

It is true that saturation was not then what it is now and it is also true that the novelty of the Internet has worn off for most of the western world. However I still think that if you can offer surfers an "experience" and capture the essence of that in your tours then you will make big money. This is the reason "reality sites" have done so well. The whole of a site like Bangbus is worth much more than the sum of it's parts.
