It's the traffic rank smartass, there are other (mainstream) sites which get a lot of traffic too. Doesn't mean these sites you mentioned are getting less traffic/day.

I know. Nevertheless I don't get happy of it. I wanted to stay in the top 500. Not in the top 1500. For some reason those other sites attract more people than they did in the past. When a visitor is browsing on "such another site" I can't make a sale on my site from this visitor!

That is your opinion and it not based on facts. I think Alexa gives a pretty good impression about traffic ranks etc. Yes and that is my opinion.

more people that use alexa higher your site goes up bud. if everyone on the internet used the toolbar the sites would skyrocket.

watch what a mess this is going to be a year from now. u don't see any of these supposed journalistic sites like AVNOnline, YNOT, XBiz saying shit about anything, no condemnation of the companies who are doing it now - within they year most big programs will be doing it - to survive.

the truth is that the market for web porn is flattening, but it is by no means dead.

1. there are just MORE sites competing with each other for surfer's attention---this will cause a general decline in ranking for all adult sites, this does not neccessarily mean incoming uniques are down, it means rankings are down, two different concepts.

2. during summer you will see traffic fall, and begin to come back in september. libido lessens for those without air conditioning. screen splashers will return with cooler temperatures.

3. you are showing traffic to free sites, TGP traffic quality is very soft, (and very poor) right now --- it is the MOST saturated market, currently there is no dimunition of gallery submitters, but it's the same tired recycled shit.

clue:
the best way to make coin in this market is to create new high quality original material---just pushing traffic to the same tired shit is a waste of energy.

surfers are still out there, but they are unmotivated by what they find.

if you can create original quality you will get them, if not you will just burn BW.

I think its just a given, traffic tends to slow down during the summer. People spend less time in front of thier computers when it is nice out.

I think it "could" be because there are a lot of smaller more aggressive sites coming online. And the smaller sites are starting to add up, taking their toll on the bigger sites...
