The lifecycle of a release is very short, people usually won't remember a release from months ago, nuanced consumers of porn will follow certain models or studios or be paysite members for specific content but most consumers of porn aren't like that.

This is all measurable, search interest in a release declines rapidly from the 10 day out mark of that release unless it's something outstanding, then it might have a couple of months of traction.

Going back to my initial question, is porn the product anymore? Personally I think the eyeballs are the product and the porn is just there to attract eyeballs so you can sell them other things like cams, dating and what ever else you can get people to pull their wallet out for.
I understand what you're saying.

Even if they only want to get traffic it has to be interesting to get the traffic. The great thing about Tubes is I can flick from a girl in the back of a taxi, to a girl in the back of a van, to a girl picked up on the street, to a girl in a garden in minutes. Do I really want a months membership to a site of 1,000 girls in the back of a taxi? Or a van? ETC. Most of them shot by staff shooters, most faking it and most in a hurry to get paid and get home.

Do I want McDonalds porn or do I want a sizzling prime steak for my money?
