Every day we all seem to "trade" traffic, exchange sales almost. We have massive groups of people that won't ever buy porn, and that group is growing as more free services come out.

So, think about over the last eight years, have we increased or decreased as an industry? I see nothing but an overall decrease in almost all areas of adult, so why do we continue to work for a business that statistically is dying?

And please do not come on this post and say oh well my site is rocking with 1:200 and spam your shit ? we know as an industry we are not doing as well as we once were. I?ve seen the post from the big boys all the way down.

So what?s it worth to you? From a big webmaster that?s making millions to a smaller webmaster starting out, is it worth the struggle, the laws, the slaps in the face to wake up to a 1:2500 ratio? I?ll admit it ? last week we woke up to some of the worst ratios we?ve seen in a LONG time. Hell, this year has been all over the board.

What are your thoughts?
