Back in the day, I downloaded a crap load from BBSs. All that stuff that was scanned from penhouse, playboy, hustler etc. etc. etc. Funny how people seem to think the internet "invented" all this free porn.

The 1 and only online purchase I made before coming into the biz was for a crap cookie cutter site. Actually. It's still up and running so what do I know. However, it was sort of in the niche I enjoy, but not exacatly what I like. But I had looked at a lot of this persons TGP galleries over time and he always had quality pics, the gallery was plain but nicely done, just a bit of text and 1 small banner. But the pics were hot and the text/banner re-enforced the pics. I plopped down my credit card and bought a membership to a site I didn't actually want. I didn't cancel for several months even though I went back into the site once or twice only.

That purchase taught me what I needed to know about marketing porn online.
