    Adult Conversion Ratios, 2000 - 2020

    - Assuming +25% per year (which seems about right)
    - General Adult Traffic (Niched traffic will be about 50% - 80% of these ratios)
    - Raw clicks to sponsors

    2000- 1:200
    2001- 1:250
    2002- 1:313
    2003- 1:391
    2004- 1:488
    2005- 1:610
    2006- 1:763
    2007- 1:954
    2008- 1:1,192
    2009- 1:1,490
    2010- 1:1,863
    2011- 1:2,328
    2012- 1:2,910
    2013- 1:3,638
    2014- 1:4,547
    2015- 1:5,684
    2016- 1:7,105
    2017- 1:8,882
    2018- 1:11,102
    2019- 1:13,878
    2020- 1:17,347

    Doesn't look like it's that much off based on past data and seems realistic for future data.

    Thoughts?

      Experience. I should mention these are raws. It's going to vary (see the part about general traffic and niche rates). I'm at about 1:1400 overall but I do a lot of niche stuff.

      You are doing very well. What were your ratios in 2000?

            Using the previous ratio figures, here is the total traffic you would need to send to sponsors to make the same amount of money.

            (1,000 raws / day is the baseline in 2000.)


            2000- 1,000
            2001- 1,250
            2002- 1,562
            2003- 1,953
            2004- 2,441
            2005- 3,052
            2006- 3,814
            2007- 4,768
            2008- 5,960
            2009- 7,450
            2010- 9,313
            2011- 11,642
            2012- 14,552
            2013- 18,190
            2014- 22,737
            2015- 28,422
            2016- 35,527
            2017- 44,409
            2018- 55,511
            2019- 69,389
            2020- 86,736


            Today you need 931% more traffic than you did in 2000.

            In 2015 you will need 2,842% (this is correct there is no error) more traffic to make the same as you did in 2000 from the pay site model.

              Because 25% seemed accurate at most historical points. If you were in business in 2000 you probably recall ratios somewhere around 1:200. Compare to today. It obviously isn't perfect but seems like a nice ballpark estimate.

                Probably not that many pay sites either. And a ripple effect on supporting services such as hosting, design, traffic sales, and scripting as well. There will still be money to be made but not near as much and margins will decrease. That's the effect as the product itself becomes radically devalued.

                It appears even if one group were to take over the entire online adult market completely in 2020 they will still not make near as much that year as they could have made in 2000 with only 33% of the market. Amazing.

                    people live in the adult bubble too much. affiliate and internet marketing is alive and well outside of it ...

                      I don't think that'll save you though. So maybe your ratios will be 33% (1/3rd) of these if you're lucky. That's still pretty bad. There doesn't seem to be any escape from the devaluation of the product itself besides either selling another product or raising enough traffic to overshadow the devaluation. But raising more traffic will become harder and harder because you'll need 25% of a greater number each year or you'll slip down. And everyone else is going to be desperate to do the same.

                      I agree with you. I don't see any escape from this for most people unless something radically changes to get conversion ratios to improve.

                            Also your ratio is in function of your sponsor.
                            New stuff= better
                            old stuff = worse

                              No sense to asume that ratios will grow by the same speed as till now, first because we had the huge influx of free porn which increased the ratios. I don't think we will see such free porn influx in the future, because its already 100% freely available.
