Great post Jayeff and though I do not entirely agree with averything, can you imagine me ever agreeing to anything LOL) you make a lot of good points.
The one about the traffic is very significant and we will be looking in the future to driving our own traffic as the back bone of our paysite traffic machine. Not going 100% down that line but we will have our own guys.
I still think the problem is the over all satisfaction level of buying a magazine, video or membership. The ease of buying membership on the Net is countered by all the crap you have to deal with before you get membership to a good site.
But the quality of what a video or magazine delivers is far more satisfying than what most paysites deliver. But the future is good and the figures show there is a lot more money to be made out of porn than we do currently.
The professional pornographers are coming in, they have the experience and product to put a lot ot shame. More and more surfers are experienced at buying memberships and they know a crap site when they get inside, no matter how much mud you throw at the wall some of it has to stick.
you talk about whether the surfer will pay $30 to "Rub one out" Well the magazine and video industry is built around selling to the same people time after time, so why are we lucky to have a member stay 3 months?
Quality of product, service and updates. Those who get that right will survive, those who do not will suffer.
