"I was taught years ago that the surfer was my enemy, and to either ship him to a sponsor, or dump his cheap ass on somebody else. That theory got me started making money, and it hasn't failed me since."

I think you had the same teachers I did Steve.
The surfer is not your friend, and you aren't in this business to make friends but to make money.
Marketing is what makes money, not throwing up a ton of useless pages and watching the counters climb. There are so many people in the business now compared to a year, two years, three years ago, that it's getting to be a much smaller piece of the pie for the ones that do market well -- then you add all the 100, 200 pic galleries out there that aren't selling anything in reality to anyone and its just that much harder to make any money.
The bottom line is simple -- make the surfer pay for porn and he will. Give it to him free and he'll keep taking it free.
