I'd say SE's make more money. TGP surfers are experienced, they already bought a memebership somewhere, and if they do buy another, they generally cacel before the re-bill UNLESS the site has wicked exclusive shit in it. ( I can think of several sites that have a ton of exclusive content and beautiful members areas that STILL rebill like shit). TGP also has a lot of crap foreign traffic (they can see porn but can't read a sales pitch - maybe their country's IP gets re-directed to a dialer at the join page too), and probably a good % of horny teenagers, as well. SE traffic has basically gone to pay per click, so if you aren't making money, you aren't buying - guess what, ppc is the rage, so guys are making money.
