I decided to compare some month to month conversions for one of the free type email programs I have been promoting for some time. I won't mention which one, but look at the difference between July 17 - 25 2003 and July 17 - 25 2002. Exactly same traffic sources. Same number of exit consoles. And I don't buy the argument that the surfer is getting used to free porn. There are 10's of thousands of new surfers every single day. And my stats from 2001 to 2002 didn't differ a whole lot.

So, in 2003 23,000 uniques earned $144 or .006 cents per exit.
In 2002, 50,500 earned $1292 or .03 cents per exit (500% more)

Has the industry really crashed that badly??
