Traffic is millions of people with a free will. They go where they want, do what they like and leave when they like. After all the scams we've seen they like us have become wiser and the scammers lass effective. Still a few of them will succeed.
In porn if you can give it away for free and easy to get. They will go to it and no matter how much others try, people will go where they want to go and that's to the best. If your product is better, the people once told will come and stay. They came the The Hun, because Patrick worked at making his site the best. They now go the Pornhub and Youtube, because they're the best. The day they stop being the best,the people will go elsewhere.
This carries through to sites that sell memberships. The people who go there will look at the offers and decide for themselves if they join. Once they joined, they will decide if they want to stay and rebill. They will decide if they come back in 6 months to get the updates.
So any anyone with thoughts of little companies competing in the major niches in the future. Needs to take this into consideration.
CAN I COMPETE WITH THE MEGA SITES.
Because if you can't the majority of people including affiliates, will see what you're offering and walk away. This is happening every day in high streets. Few go to the local stores in the high street. They go to the Malls. Few buy goods from little Ma & Pa operations, they buy from Fords, Coca Cola, GE, etc.
Who get's the most traffic online Youtube or Vimeo? I don't even know a smaller one, which shows you who will get the people coming to their sites in the future.
Now you can all start denying the obvious.
don't tell me it always was obvious, if it had of been you would of been working on making your offerings better than the rest. You just worked on getting more people and didn't bother enough on what you were offering the people.
