A million hits an hour will not make you a penny unless it stops somewhere to buy something. Unless you are a traffic broker selling clicks.

The surfer is looking for content, he stops when he see content, he looks again when he sees content he likes, he thinks about buying because he likes the content, he buys because he likes the content, he stays and rebills because he loves the content. In what part of this scenario is traffic king?

The answer is simple, when you have built the site full of the best content you can get. This depends on budget and skills of selecting porn. Then the more traffic you send the more sign ups you get.

Of course if you have a bucket with a hole and no skills to repair it, one of the ways to fill the bucket is to increase the water flow. The bigger the hole the bigger the water flow needed to fill it.

Could be why so many sites retain for only two months.
