With adblockers, Google and others tightening their software to block annoying ads, etc I predict in 5 years or less those profiting from this circle jerk traffic will drop signicantly. Will it ever go away? No, not likely since there IS profit in it. But the cost to earn that profit will continue to go up as the companies that profit the most from these strategies continue to shrink.

Your game Thommy is based solely and strictly on huge numbers, mathematics and probabilities. That's awesome for the analytically and metric minded. But, in the end, only VERY large companies will be able to afford this kind of game where the basic investment is a minimum of 50k just to get any type of traction at all.

But, as you say, this is true of EVERY market. Those who work with Wal-mart will always insist everything is just dandy while the small community supporters of the local flower shop will bitch til they go out of business or settle for tiny scraps. So you know, good for you for working with the porn Wal-Marts of the world but your calculations don't really apply to us normal 'small business' types.
