          Promote what I like best and be honest to the surfer.

          Damn good advice in today's day and age. Glad I asked.

          Thanks Steve

              Glad to have you back Steve... you don't know me... i'm one of the thousands of affiliates quietly pushing you and others sites, but I respect your empire you've built along the way and appreciate you moving back here.

                Damn, just missed the 20 question.

                If you don't mind answering one more, I'd appreciate your input.

                Q: Have you thought about doing any mainstream? If you have, are you? If you have and aren't, what would you do? If you have and are, what are you doing, and what do you suggest others to try out?

                  see #19 and #20 --- same principles apply to mainstream.

                  I don't do anything in mainstream now, but I would be open to offers and opportunities.

                          Funny thread, I'm not buyin' it though.

                          If things were head-over-heels great you wouldn't have wasted valuable time and effort posting your last 2 "things are better than ever" threads.

Facebook, Flickr, Myspace, Youtube -- are all about quality, quantity, and community. I'm not sure regular porn paysites can survive much longer the way they are now, even mine.


                                        Agree with most of this except the thing about people wanting it all. If they did Tubes would not be a threat. Because you can't give away "all" for free. Just little snippets.

                                        What if you combine the paysite with the niche content and offer niche live cams etc inside the members area along with a forum etc?


                                        Depends, sometimes the cost of creating the niche content is not justified by he return. Up until a few years ago the best niche content was on DVD because the returns were better. I've lost count of the number of people who have asked me to produce niche content for a fraction of the return that magazines and DVD paid.

                                        Live cams is something we should all be looking into and hitting the income of the Tubes. We offer it for free from inside our sites. We ca afford it.

                                        But if you're lucky enough to have an archive of content that can't be shot easily today you're sitting pretty. Astral Blue.

                                                Depends, sometimes the cost of creating the niche content is not justified by he return. Up until a few years ago the best niche content was on DVD because the returns were better. I've lost count of the number of people who have asked me to produce niche content for a fraction of the return that magazines and DVD paid.

                                                Live cams is something we should all be looking into and hitting the income of the Tubes. We offer it for free from inside our sites. We ca afford it.

                                                But if you're lucky enough to have an archive of content that can't be shot easily today you're sitting pretty. Astral Blue.
                                                Thanks for spamming my thread. What was your question Paul?

                                                  GM, and lots of companies are DEAD, and it has NOTHING to do with tube sites. Tube sites are easy to blame, but we've always fought piracy on the net in some form.

Lately, it seems like those people have moved away from GFY, so I'm back. I've been focusing on bulding my own internal traffic sources since I left.
                                                                                                  i suggest you take a look again, if anything the number of people who realize that "illegal" tube sites are protected by the safe harbor provision of the DMCA has increased.

                                                                                                  When you left people kept arguing with me on those legal points

Yes, I could start again, and I have a new business plan that is totally different than anything on the net right now. People say "Adapt or Die", I prefer "Adapt and Kill". I have a tube killer in the wings.
