Hey Humbolt
Your too old school now for GFY LOL
Countries like Australia New zeland etc convert well , England for one is great.
I dont think asking questions like one could in the old porn city days works any longer.
Old Shemp used to post some interesting trends on his board or email him.

take my word for it - Israelis don't pay for porn.
they know about tubes and use them.

furthermore their whole consuming behavior is very different then a western one - they mostly buy only what they need and don't "go shopping". it's a lot harder to make them take out their plastic.

another factor is poverty. it's hard to make a living in Israel and working hard is not enough - 40% of the poor people in Israel are working - not unemployed.

their currency is 1/4 of a dollar so their salary ain't much anyway.

also there there are the missiles that are fired everyday at the south of the country - but lets not get in to that.

Israel is almost as worthless as Russia.

For sites in English it ranks:

US
UK
Germany
Canada
Scandinavian Countries
France
Austria
Switzerland
Spain
Italy
Japan
India
Arab countries (if you don't get blocked)
China (if you don't get blocked)

Hey Humbolt :-) Thankfully the pics and vids we peddle say more than a thousand words and we all have access to a global audience - plus the interest in porn is pretty much universal lol

However, most of that vast audience have no credit card so use an 'alternative' processor like us if you want to monetize traffic from India, China & Co. - and remember to communicate with surfers in a language they understand - theirs! Your processor should be able to provide you with the tools to do this.

Germany remains our largest market, for stats see here

1st - I can't say from my very own experience, but our partner is launching a co brand of our website in Hybri, so we'll see.

Friends of mine from Israel actually mentioned 90 pct. of porn purchases from Israel happens through Arabs.



2nd

Germany is a two edge market - they more or less have money, they more or less are able to pay, but they are also never satisfied and you need to offer them a lot to retain them, it's extremely suitable to have Webbilling, Click n Buy, Sofortuberweisung in place to name a few totally German suited payment options.

Germans like to pay with something they already have a good experience with, as they are extremely suspicious.

Italy does wonders for us - Italians are crazy about porn, it's 60 mil. market and even their language skills are usually extremely poor and you need to have everything in Italian, it's well worth it.

Any country from the civilized Western Europe - Benelux, Scandinavia, UK is great traffic, UK is killing it if you have amateur stuff in place.

Spain and France - serious language problem, never seen that much traffic from those markets, but they just don't perform that well as other western Euro countries.

I probably wouldn't bother with any place eastern from German borders, as the traffic costs probably more than what it earns.

The only way to go there, is to try to setup something like a license deal with someone who has a lot of local traffic, selling your content using sms payments / clip downloads,

BUT:

a) most likely getting fucked over

b) even this is not too financially attractive, as it's so much free porn on the net, and these people never pay if they can find a way how not to

the explanation:
Israel is the only western cultured country in the middle east.
well it least it wants and tries to be because it loves america and wants to be like america.
other countries in the middle east like Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt etc. etc. sees Israel as the middle east version of america where all the girls are hot and liberal, everything is free and won't get you hanged by the balls like in Iran for example...

it's all relative.
