Shap, sales up 17%, traffic up 25%.
Your tube sites seem to convert. Good for you. "Hard work" indeed. |

From April 2007 to April 2008 was one of my best years ever for my own site, but the highs have been very high and the lows have been some of the worst lows since Jan 08. They're still buying and they're still surfing, but they aren't pulling out their cards quite as easily.

Why did we add prechecked cross sales? To increase our earnings and be more competitive. |

The one area I have seen a drop is TGP ratios. Anybody who relies heavily on TGP for their sales will definitely have suffered a huge hit this year. I'd say over the past 18 months TGP ratios have suffered.

It ain't rocket science......Who's gonna pay for that shit?.....There isn't even any real visa on that muthafucka.... |
The economy is bad....more free porn available every year.........people want to spend their money on gas and food and look at tube sites for their porn fix. Of course there will always be some people who will always buy porn because they love it and can afford it. These are the people who keep us all in business

TGPs are a thing of the past. There ratios must suck ass.
Blog/Tube/Current Info/Gossip/ constantly updated at six times a day.... Drop in some hardwork and conversion will follow. |

The big problem a lot of people have is they are lazy and don't want to adapt. The internet is a fast paced beast. I've said this before, TGPs have made absolutely no changes or improvements to their business model in the last 5+ years. TGP sites were losing traffic way before tubes came around. I actually did a lot of research on it and all tgps started dropping around the same time and it had nothing to do with tubes. You can't sit back and refuse to change and expect to continue to be successful. |
100 sales a month lost!

"Remember when all we had to do was put up a banner, and sales would come?"
Ever think that maybe this is because all there was were banners? There was hardly any free content, and those who had it paid a lot for it. No one to blame but ourselves, blame tube sites all you want, but the problem started way before they came around. |
soon all the big dogs will launch tube sites and there will be as many online as TGP's
end of the day we are giving away our bread and butter. i dont care what anyone says. I'm thinking about launching a free dating site and Tube site very soon if i dont see a change in the biz. as I'm sure everyone else will as well, lets just give everything away free fuck it! the only way we will make big bucks again is if we censor all the free shit no pussy or dick then people will pay and stay longer |

This is the law of diminishing returns.
If you have a program, being sold by one affiliate, and that affiliate makes 30 sales per day; and you add 20 more affiliates and they all make 5 sales per day, then you add 100 more affiliates, and they all make 2 sales per day. A market goes through a cycle of development, growth, maturity, and then retreat. When you have hundreds of affiliates all promoting the same product, then they can expect a diminishing return. There are a absolute number of surfers, and if all affiliates provide them the same offerings, then you can expect - as more affiliates join the market - that your slice of the pie will shrink. Diversification, I think, is the key to success (the same as any market). If you are caught in the maturity stage in a markets cycle then you can expect your sales to remain constant (not good - unless you are growing you are shrinking), if you are in the retreat stage in the cycle, then you can expect your sales to shrink. The maturity stage should forewarn you of the retreat stage; at which time you must diversify your offering to capture the development and growth cycle of the markets next rotation. Doing any different will spell shrinking $$$. |
There is no money in porn. end of story

I hope COPA does come around again and pass.
Free porn is dangerous to all sides. |

the whole US is on a down. a big down. luckily porn is international, and resists recessions and depressions well, like alcohol and tobacco.

You mentioned the word trust. Consumer confidence would be another term for it. I think you're right about the standard pay site model but I think subscription, at least in other forms will still work but not with pay sites. More like an unlimited VOD while you are a member. I was at a talk by Paul Graham at Stanford a while back and he was talking about how Google was successful because they are basically good. http://www.paulgraham.com/good.html Some good stuff there. |
