I personally think that as long as AVN thinks they own the internet they'll always have a perception problem.
When AVN came in and bought IA 2000 they didn't offer the webmaster anything of great value- they just upped pricing and raped and pillaged the webmasters.
Yes we had some great shows out of them no doubt, but in the end at what cost to us? I think any company that wants to promote shows or a trade magazine should have 1 very important thing-
TRAFFIC.
Or at least the knowledge of how to get it, retain it, and market it-
So far I don't know of one person at AVN that has ever owned or run a successful paysite- that is their biggest problem.
If I wanted to write for JAMA- ( The Journal for the Medical Association) you'd bet your bottom dollar I better have practiced medicine somewhere or went to medical school.
Why should it be any different when discussing the web-
I loved TOM HYMES he was a great writer for AVN and took the time to learn things about the web that not many others really cared to learn- but at the end of the day....you think Ron Levi or John Bennet read anything they wrote and took it seriously???
