Sales are down.. 1000 explanations..

In my mind it is fairly simple.
Normal people are scared to spend right now.
Normal people are increasingly being forced to live together
since they cannot afford to finance the lifestyle they're accustomed to any more
(or any at all).

Simply put, more scums are shacked up with some ugly broad, and,
having something to drool and drizzle their pathetic little loads into,
they don't even need to purchase any adult content.

Tube sites.

Too much free porn -> Porn posting boards/blogs ->
Rapidshare.
Megarotic. (as well as their tube sites)
Megaupload.

and ->

Shady business. Porn sites often seen/associated as/with spyware(s) as well as spamming. and I won't talk about the "taboo" stuff.

= up and down

Too much free stuff, yep, that's it. Too much free members area stuff as well.

Tube sites, good example, and I agree that alot of normal people do tend to associate adult websites with malware.

When looking at my webmaster referral stats combined for all programs: NO. It's easier to catch a whale spending thousands of dollars a month on webcams than finding a webmaster who sends more than a sale a month.

These threads always pop up. The past two weeks have been particularly slow, before that it was perfectly fine and there was even quite a few great weeks. January did very well for me. All of these dooms day theories do not suddenly hit out of the blue.

The sky is not falling. It's a bad week, it happens. It happens in every business. I think we are very lucky in how overall our business is really quite stable.
