As a surfer who is learning the business (actually I learned quite alot as a surfer before now) I feel i'm in a position to make a limited comment on the state of the online porn biz.
I've come to the conclusion that in some, if not most cases, webmasters are enemies of their own industry.

Surely the point of your business is to get surfers like to me part with their cash in return for some quality wanking at the images and videos on your sites.
However, if a surfer (especially a n00bie one) goes to a search engine looking for porn he will find:
galleries which have nothing to do with the search word keyed-in
blind links (I fucking hate those things)
auto install toolbars/ spyware and of course the dreaded dialer
over-exposed content
popups

The image a surfer has of the industry is one of dishonesty, deceit and greed.

From reading the posts on this site for the last month I can see that not all webmasters/ industry people have a bad attitude (in fact most people here seem genuine), but the ones who do are spoiling it for the honest grafters amongst you.

There are a few points which I believe should be considered:
1. It's not traffic numbers which are important, it's traffic quality which is important.
2. Treat the surfers as potential customers who deserve a decent service.
3. Don't treat surfers as a source of traffic which can be just generated and sold.

If you're going to run a site, then it should be modelled on something like nubiles.net or abbywinters.com who, IMO, give the impression that they are professional outfits.

Now discuss and flame away

Yes, at one of the few sites which seem like they are *not* going to steal your money. You catch on fast
