Fucking SPANISH dialup kills me!
Anyway, sorry for any double posts I might get - I'll edit them if they come.
Here goes the rest:
3. About the change of market:
It wont work. Why? Cause the market , I stress - in my humble opinion, more or less goes where money is.
If raising trials cost will raise the sponsor income but will lower down webmaster payouts - some of them will go away.
Definitely.
4. My ideas about PR for big guys
(I dont stress that my opinion is needed so please dont overreact too...lol). I noticed a great public opinion reaction on those trials tests by major guys. Which is no wonder. There's a very limited amount of big guys and major players in the porn net. Basicly all webmasters , at least all US guys work for them. There's no wonder that even when You change a fucking pixel in the design of webmaster page - there are discussions about it everywhere. My advice is that You hire couple of guys to do...own traffic in some more or less average amount with average incomes. Why? That way You could test whatever You want without any public attention of it.
5. My point of the whole porn mainstream market. I think that all will agree that the main killer is the cometition. When 1 on 1000 conversion is normal - that means that competition is OUT of normal.
Now what I think is that one of the things which does a great deal for such stuff is ...price of QUALITY content. It's too low.
Anyone with just A FRACTION OF MONTH SALES of big guys got enough investments to build a similar paysite or several of them. Now thats not good I beleive.
And that's one of the things , speaking of market regulations , big guys relatively easy can change.
I am not sure big guys have possibilities to lead market one way or another. But raising prices for content is withing reach and the profitability of such an action might help a GREAT deal.
That's just my humble opinion.
