Any successful business now keeps track of what does and does not convert, solicits feedback from their members, and tries to invest in the numbers or probability of success and ROI.
As I said before, it's a fairly simple equation....this is a business based on ROI.

Agreed that's why the ones that don't get it filter too much and it makes the scenes suck where on other hand the ones that actually understand how porn talent is shot and dealt with make better ROI. This is why Porn Pros does so well because Mike Sullivan has been around porn sets and dealt with the talent since the beginning where other guys manage their shoots without ever even meeting their producers and talent. Even when these guys copy other peoples ideas it seems to sell more than the other companies that soon follow and try to emulate the same niche. I don't claim to be a marketing expert but I understand when the sex is hot and when its not. Most of the stuff I have shoot isn't too niche specific so its more about the performance of the talent than anything.
Secondary to that is just getting great camera angles to showcase that performance.
