you might have a point

[ZoiNk]

People are getting their porn for free on kazaa. Why pay for bad quality streaming when they can download DVD rips of porn movies for free?

same thing happened to the music biz now it's happening to us.

and this is one fight pornographers can do shit about, only thing we can do is cheer on mainstream billion dollar media companies trying to break the back of P2P.

i have family in the music retailing/distribution business, they've been hurt bad. Bad enough to close some stores.

sucks.

[whee]

Kazaa and all the other shitty programs DELIVERING free porn to the masses... Sucks big time.

First it hit the music industry, and with the wide introduction of broadband it'll make the movie, software and porn industry suffer even more soon.


What I don't get is why Alexa is giving Sleazydream a higher ranking than Hun and WS... would someone explain that to me, please?

ask quiet.

I came up with this a while ago. I f you have steady traffic then project your revenue over the mainindex of the stockexchange. You will be surprised of the result. Its called markt sentiment and affects also the "regular" guy.

this winter's freezing cold weather should be helping things out.
Every time there's ever been a big winter blizzard, 9 months later comes a little baby boom.

these were no stock charts

Hrm, thank god for google traffic.

[chupacabra]

at least in the states, many of our would-be surfers are probably glued to their tv sets and duct-taping their houses due to the constant chicken-little terrorist threat upgrades... we've seen a sharp decrease in signup's from amerikans, but international signup's have remained near the same..

[UncleJimmy]

I think 'some' might be due to kazaa....but mostly due to people surfing the web for 'news' on Iraq & N. Korea, buying duct tape, etc....

too nervous to wack off atm, give it a few months after we wax Iraq's ass & put some diplomatic full-nelson on N. Korea and people will get back to wacking to our pr0n....


that's my theory and I hope it's right...

[UncleJimmy]

PK's traffic is looking pretty stable...



maybe everyone else's pages were getting nice hitbot traffic that broke somehow?

Survey: Web use trends ever upward

The dot-com economy is long gone, but that hasn't curbed the public's appetite for shopping, banking and generally amusing themselves on the World Wide Web, according to a recent study.
Significantly more people are using the Web to send pictures and videos, shop, download music, play games and do their banking, according a study that compares last year's habits with those of 2000. The study was released Thursday by Ipsos-Reid, a consumer marketing research firm.

Online shopping has increased dramatically, according to the study. Nearly two-thirds of 2,900 Web surfers Ipsos-Reid surveyed said that they had at some point in time bought something online, up from 36 percent of those surveyed in 2000. The biggest markets for online shopping, according to the 12-country study, are in the United States and the United Kingdom, where 77 percent and 68 percent of Web users surveyed, respectively, have made purchases online.

That surge comes too late, however, for many now defunct Internet start-ups that tried to capitalize on people's urge to spend online.

"In spite of the dot-com meltdown, the Internet is still going strong and is advancing steadily," said Gus Schattenberg, vice president of global research at Ipsos-Reid. "There is no sign that we've reached any kind of a plateau, and the Internet is becoming a more important part of everyone's daily life."

The percentage of respondents who tend to their finances online has nearly doubled, from 20 percent in 2000 to 37 percent last year, according to the findings. Online banking is most prevalent in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States, the study said.

Downloading music files has also increased in popularity, to the chagrin of the music industry. The percentage of Web surfers downloading music files online increased to 44 percent last year, up from 38 percent in 2000. The largest jump in music downloading took place in China, Russia, Mexico and Brazil, the study said.

Also, more than two-thirds of respondents reported sending or receiving pictures or video clips online in 2002. Ipsos-Reid hadn't measured that activity in previous surveys, so no comparison data on that particular trend was available.

The growth in Internet use will continue apace, the study predicted, with the advent of wireless phones with picture- and video-swapping features, the growing demand of digital cameras, falling prices for personal computers and Web access, and the introduction of new Internet-surfing devices.

The research firm did point to a potential downside to the upswing in Web use.

"There may be some social consequences--things such as information overload," said Schattenberg. "Surfing the Internet can be a solitary activity instead of a social activity, and it's one more demand on people's time."

Ipsos-Reid, a North American division of Paris-based Ipsos, has been tracking Internet use since 1999. The latest study was based on interviews with 2,900 active Internet users in 12 countries in May and June 2002. The study was underwritten by five unnamed corporate sponsors, most of them in the telecommunications industry, according to an Ipsos-Reid representative.
