A lot of new sponsors the last year and a half and the appearance rate keeps increasing. Do you think most of them will be around in a year or two or they'll disappear? Have in mind paysites are not tgps. They have operating cost and if they dont perform well by sending traffic to them in reality you lose money.

variety and competition is always a good thing in any business. It spurs growth, better products, wider field of choices, and keeps costs down.

There is plenty of room for honest sponsors. Keeps the cheaters looking over their shoulder.Comment

Sure is room.. but a lot of them fail and fade away without a word.

I mean, think about it.
Pepsi-cola and Coca-cola for example.
If there wasnt such compeition between those two they wouldnt bother being the best they can, trying new things, etc.Comment

Yep, room for plenty moreComment

That's what I was thinking. Maybe some competition will do some good, and on the end the bad apples fall, and the good ones remain.

i wonder how much profit a lot of these companies are doing, because their sites are all the same niches as the large sponsors

Some of us are different.
Although, I assume the popular niches (teen etc..) have a LOT more space for new sponsors, not only the small niches. Almost regardless what their content is, DVDs or exclusive. As long as it's presented out nicely and surfer gets what he's told.
..and I'm off.Comment

of courseComment

I really don't care, i am promoting 5-7 sponsors, so the remaining 995 don't bother me.
I think now simply everyone wants his own sponsor program and ist is probably easier than ever to start one nowadays, so many webmasters are trying it.
I am not thinking about a paysite at all, at least now.
I think it is too much work and moreover too much paperwork.I don't use ICQ anymore.Comment

The people who really benifit from the competition are the customers. I don't see how more competition is good for the people already in this industry.Originally posted by DR_PHIL
comp is great for this industry!
Variety & competition - There is already a lot of variety and competition in most popular niches, if in a years time there is double the competition how does that benifit the webmasters ?variety and competition is always a good thing in any business. It spurs growth, better products, wider field of choices, and keeps costs down.
Is more competition not going to result in a decrease in retention ? Surely the more choices that consumers have the less chance they will staying a member of a paysite. Why stay a member of a particular paysite and rebill for months if there is 10 similar paysites in a particular niche offering exclusive content for the same kind of price ?
better products, wider field of choices, and keeps costs down - Better products are more than likely going to result in costing webmasters more money to produce the content (not good for the webmaster again) If better products became the norm all thats really done is raised the consomers expectation of what he expects from a paysite.
Overall I don't think this is going to benifit the webmasters (us) Seriously though I'd like to hear your thoughts on some of the things I've said aboveComment

I don't think there is any question about whether or not the industry can support more programs.. it's whether or not the programs can survive the industry. Survival of the fittest, you will see many come and go for certain.

There is room...
But I think the newer quality paysites will take the place of older cookie cutter sites.
Then in a few years from now the new trend of websites will take over the previous websites.

Why not?Can the adult industry handle so many new sponsor programs?Comment

yes,the question should had been placed differently.......
from http://www.sponsorslist.com/
Sponsors : 829
i'm far from veteran, but i could tell you that not long time ago the paysites available for promotion were extremely few compared to now and the overall sales volume didn't jump 20 times up.
I consider the average new sponsor as a weak attempt to "leak" sales from other webmasters and is not built in order to maximize the money earned from owner's current traffic. I might be wrong. if you run a new sponsor don't take it personally. It's a general remark.Comment

I think a lot of affiliates started to realize that they could make a LOT more money by starting their own paysites rather that promoting other webmasters programs.Comment

Most of these new sponsor programs are just lame attempts at a recurring program.. which has been happening for YEARS. They do not hurt anybody.every click counts...Comment
-
Lots of competition ensures that only the best survive...and it keeps the best ones always on their toes to keep their place...no one gets lax. That is a good thing.
I do think there will be a constant turn-over as new companies come and go and the industry as a whole changes.Comment

If coke and pepsi had any real competition, they would be forced to be way cheeper and actually develop products that aren't horrible for kids. That's the worst possible industry to use as an example of good competition. It's an advertising war between two giants.Originally posted by Zoe_Zoebaboe
