Just think of when the clones arrives... 100s of these offering every surfer on the internet 1000s of FREE hours of videos. And it will be the good stuff, because its the surfers who will upload their favorite porn movies.Originally posted by pornpf69that site is really awesome!!
ZERO control for the studio owners, and affiliates - they have been thrown out by AEBN.

some people see the value of premium porn, some dont....but that doesn't excuse the vast amounts of porn given away for free. it's just plain dumb.Originally posted by jayeff...But the vast majority of people will never pay for (online) porn and those who are willing to do so understand the difference between premium porn and free porn, even if, apparently, a lot of webmasters cannot make that distinction...
when any company that does mass production (lets say toothpaste) has stuff that doesn't pass quality control (ex : the copy on the box got printed wrong), do they throw it out into the street?? no, they sell it at a marked down rate (like to the 99 cent store) to at least make SOME of the money back.

We are not selling something people have to buy and we are selling something visual, thus it is far more effective to show people than to tell them about it. That isn't to say everyone uses content in the most effective way possible, but I do not believe that any damage caused by free content is near as much as that caused in other ways. Not only that, but while complaining about free content is a lot like p*ssing into the wind, other aspects of our business can be tackled by individual sponsors, without the need for any consensus.Comment

and if you think the proportion of toothpaste samples are in line with the proportion of free samples of porn, i should be kicking around old toothpaste tubes and boxes everytime i walk to the store. free samples are great, but the amount of "free samples" of porn is what's ludicrous, and is what the real issue is.
consensous or not, tackling the free porn "giveaway bonanza" would help to settle many more issues if you look deeper. complaining about it is pissing in the wind, but doing something about it is not.flexx [dot] aeon [at] gmailComment

I will agree with you that today´s businessmodel has much room for improvement, however how does Porntube improve the business model?Originally posted by jayeffWebmasters keep on with this illusion that if porn were not available for free, everyone who looks at porn now would become a paying customer.

2 things have hurt moneymaking potential.
1. Smaller Pie
2. Free Content
I will concede that smaller niches that are not so popular with their own content that can't be found anywhere else to be an exception.
But even that will be going away.

I think there are alot of people who have porn collections - they fall in love with a particular model, a certain fetish, etc. The people who watch the 30 second clip and jerk off arent our customers - they never were and never will be. It's slightly circular logic, and its obvious - but it's the people who are willing to pay who are our customers.Originally posted by RoloBecause "Mr. Speedy Gonzales" aka. the surfer... only needs 5 minutes or less to jerk off... something AEBN now provides to him for FREE

Tens of thousands of people pay for porn every single day - and im going to go out on a limb and say that because of the increasing familiarity of conducting transactions with credit cards online and with the increasing quality of content offered for a price - that the gross number of adult-related credit card transactions in increasing every single day.
So, in actual fact, the 'pie' (gross adult revenues on the internet) is on a steep upswing and will continue in the future.I died.Comment

There are economic realities, exactly.Originally posted by GatorBIsn't their badnwidth bills quite expensive?
There will always be business models that are built around 'free' product, but someone always has to pay the piper. Thats the great thing about free markets - they are self-regulating.
The existence of so much free content is self-evident proof that there is an economy to support it.I died.Comment

I grant that if there were zero free porn, we might see a trickle of one-time, curiosity sales. On the other hand, we would lose one of the best marketing tools we have, so on balance I seriously doubt we would come out in front.
If we actually want a bigger cake, instead of fighting over the one we have, we need to look at what we are selling and how we are selling it. For the most part we are selling crap which would be overpriced whatever its cost. A lot of sponsors put zero thought into marketing and most of those who do, direct their energy into ways to screw buyers out of more money than they intended to spend.
In the last few days I was emailed about a brand new site, one which turns out to be based on pics originally sent out by a content club in 2001/2002. It was dirt cheap when it was new and has been so overused I have been rejecting TGP submissions which still use it. This morning I get a list of hosted movie galleries from a very well-known sponsor: unlit, over-optimized rubbish that wouldn't sell an ID if it were the only porn site on the planet.
We aren't selling primarily to newbies any more because they are a tiny minority of the surfing population and the only countries still showing any serious growth in Internet takeup are ones that by and large we cannot process payments for. As long as so many sponsors rely on armies of affiliates to make sales on the mud sticks principle, rather than offering something people actually want to buy, making money will keep getting harder.
Yesterday Will76 posted here about a scam he had got caught up in relating to charges added to his telephone bill. Everyone who responded was rightly indignant and a few even compared it to the scams online porn runs. But all those comments were along the lines of how much worse that scam was than anything in adult, or see, we are not the only people pulling tricks like that. Not one person pointed out that if such scams upset us, perhaps they upset our customers too...
I think the idea would be a slight pullback and everything out there or maybe a crackdown of the free hosting and forums where you can get ANYTHING.Comment

Were just behind music. How many people just stole music off the internet? And yes it still happens quite a bit, but Apple and other companies are making kiling off selling songs for 99 cents. See despite the fact it's very easy to get song for free on the internet people are still willling to pay for a product because they see the value of it. Of course suing music stealers helped in that cause.Originally posted by DollarmansteveI think there are alot of people who have porn collections - they fall in love with a particular model, a certain fetish, etc. The people who watch the 30 second clip and jerk off arent our customers - they never were and never will be.

Speaking of a circle, I think it´s not only a sponsor problem. Try to get a gallery listed with teasing content only. Unless it´s a paid spot (not a submit pass), you won´t have much luck with it. More and more content is required, some MGP sites require 6 movis per gallery.Originally posted by Phoenixyes complete the circle
something i have been recommending to everyone i have consulted over the years...very very few agree and see the light though
i guess from their perspective if it aint broke dont fix it....hope it doesnt break
So if the webmaster wants to get listed, he has to use too much and way too explicit content - content where the surfer jerks off to.
This webmaster asks the sponsor for more and more content. It really looks like a circle.Comment

So why is AEBN different that any other sponsor? You could say that about ALL affiliate programs. Paying out $0 is better than paying out $35. I would bet that for every sale I'm getting paid by other sponsors AEBN is making much more per $35 they pay. Not sure why you singled them out.Originally posted by Rolo0% is still less than 20%
