So nice that they have your best interests in mind.

LOL Yeah man I get that - tho I also understand the reps are just doing their jobs.
But more to your points about ROI:
I only use other paysites as a very basic model, meaning I start from there. I look at the other paysites do ad buys and look at their join price, their tour and their ad. Anything else (upsells, mailings, etc) are different revenue streams and not related directly to the ad buy. (And yes I understand there's some cross-over, given the 'awareness' the ad may bring.) So I research, I look, I take out my calculator (knowing the going rates for such ads) and figure out the volume these other paysites must be doing to BREAK EVEN (let alone be profitable) and the volume is staggering!
So, scaling down, I do see some profit there for my sites. BUT we're still talking massive numbers to be profitable (relatively) so that's the only real stumbling block for me right now.
I would do ad buys for cams, dating, etc but then I'd really be starting from scratch with zero knowledge.
