Right now we are making money ONLY from new
surfers and that's because anyone who has been
surfing the net for porn has come accross
this kind of shit ( popup hell, autodownload
dialers etc.. ) .
If they had good experiences they would not
be scared to search for porn or to pay for
the stuff they are looking for to get off, be it Teen Movies, or Amateur lesbians..whatever.

With the Billions of people surfing the net
and looking for porn we are either BAD at
marketing or we have pissed them off enough
to not spend their money.
How else do you explain making so little
MONEY ??? ( well most people are ;-))



I don't know about you but my bank account is doing just fine.
You give the surfers too much credit. Over 90% of them don't know which web sites they were at that day, they just keep clicking from link to link looking for what they want. Most of them don't even make a distinction between the TGP and the galleries they see on the TGP, they think its all the same site.

the reason you make more money on new surfers is because they don't know where all of the free clean shit is, and after they get slapped around for awhile looking for it on a search engine they figure they'll have to pay for it if they want to see it and sign up.

Unless you have a site that the surfer is paying to access, or a site that you want them to bookmark (Link list, TGP etc) you have no obligation whatsoever to provide them with a pleasant surfing experience, your job is to try and squeeze every cent out of ever surfer, otherwise why are you here?

What did the free site surfer ever do for you? They actively seek password sites to try and get it all for free. They use "leech" programs to try and download your whole members area during a 3 day trial. They try to hotlink your images and movies in chat rooms and on message boards, and just by being at your site they cost you money in bandwidth.
