How many average consumers take that into consideration? Isn't the process automatic for most people with 9-5 jobs?

You really think someone looking at porn goes "uh oh, I have to file by the 15th, I better not verify my age for free on this site right now...?

andrej_NDC · 03-27-2010, 03:27 PM

I hope thats it.

fatfoo · 03-27-2010, 03:27 PM

A lot of people write on GFY assuming that they are writing for a USA audience. Keep in mind, that there are people here from all over the world with all different kinds of tax rules.

HandballJim · 03-27-2010, 03:32 PM

good point, and getting my tax papers together too.

Also change in weather, spring break, and college basketball.

70% of sales are from the US. So whatever happens there surely has an impact on sales.

And most civilized countries have tax time now.

To tax (from the Latin taxo; "I estimate", which in turn is from tangō; "I touch"). Taxes are also imposed by many subnational entities. Taxes consist of direct tax or indirect tax, and may be paid in money or as its labour equivalent (often but not always unpaid). A tax may be defined as a "pecuniary burden laid upon individuals or property owners to support the government [?] a payment exacted by legislative authority."[1] A tax "is not a voluntary payment or donation, but an enforced contribution, exacted pursuant to legislative authority" and is "any contribution imposed by government [?] whether under the name of toll, tribute, tallage, gabel, impost, duty, custom, excise, subsidy, aid, supply, or other name."[1]

If you are having trouble with sales - think of what you selling, how you are presenting it, and where.
Write down the reason(s) you believe you are having problems and re-read them to yourself out loud. How does it sound to you?

Quagmire · 03-27-2010, 04:05 PM

Apparently its been tax time since last spring.

habibjr · 03-27-2010, 04:07 PM

Theres a niche for every type of women, fat ugly, cracked out. Its all about marketing and promoting it right Hell, we buy water for $1.00 when its FREE.

andrej_NDC · 03-27-2010, 04:08 PM

This has nothing do to with marketing, sales are only down for a few days. Until then they were good.

Hear, hear!

bdld · 03-27-2010, 06:45 PM

that's not necessarily true, i've been around long enough to see trends, and this time of year usually isn't a bad time. in fact, it's when people get their refund checks.

Sabby · 03-27-2010, 06:48 PM

I remember when webmasters on GFY were saying " Why would people watch porn on such a small screen ? " it aint never gonna happen but it has and dont forget if one person buys one vid from you they can transfer it to 100 other friends mobiles ...File sharing all over again

Files sharing mobile 2 mobile,HAHAHA, What a 2mb file that is 144x176....Shit! Imagine transferring that file to your desktop and watching it fullscreen. What a piece of shit video.

Seriously, why would any adult program provide full download to mobile. You must be talking clips or trailers. Set up RTSP stream....

Another reason I say mobile is because half the people who used to surf on desktops are now in mobiles and most of the programs webpages break or are to big to display on phones. No one is going to pay for a site that don't even work.

Paul Markham · 03-28-2010, 03:08 AM

March has been a great month for us.

hypedough · 03-28-2010, 03:16 AM

Shit, I almost thought I got in here before fatfoo wrote some nonsensical bullshit. We're having a solid month as well Paul, working a little harder never hurt.

NaughtyRob · 03-28-2010, 11:17 AM

Not really... most people get refund checks in February. And I am not saying tax time is the only factor, but people are outside more, etc.

most people (9-5ers) file their taxes the second they get their w2's and whatnot to get their refund earlier. I doubt "tax season" is the reason
