Well, in my conception of things the content doesn't draw much traffic directly any more; that worked best when people could still use image search to find porn. But a site looking dead because it hasn't published anything new since forever, that definitely kills traffic; so having fresh content on my sites remains important.

Honestly sometimes sales are secondary, because they are so hard to get these days. But secondary still MATTERS; there's very little point in posting content with no revenue potential whatsoever.

I never "demand" new content but I do focus my promotion on programs that make it the easiest to discover and use their photo content. Even the best FHG system is a pain to work with because the subset of photos chosen for a FHG often doesn't overlap with the subset that would work best with my traffic. A lot of programs have non-nude content in their photosets, they just don't choose it for their FHGs, if they even bother to make FHGs any more.

I run my sites on a sort of "hard R" basis, preferring not to show genitals for the most part. There are a lot of programs where the only way to promote them like this is if they will give me a pass with permission to pull whatever I want from the member content. On any given day when I want to throw up a fast post, my login links are where I start, not somebody's frustrating FHG tool.
