How much business have 'legend' sites lost since 2005?
 

I won't name the sites but we all know them as surfers do, sites that weren't part of the big PPS programs but were doing big business based on the quality and reputation of their product and TGP guys made a fortune promoting them. So let's say in 2005 one of those sites was making say 2 mil a year profit and they kept on producing the same content until today - how much profit have they lost since 2005?

2005 2M profit

2013 ??? profit

some of those sites made many times 2M a year profit of course.

90% down

I just picked up a handful of sand, threw it in the air and it landed on the ground.

How high did I throw the sand and in what order did the grains of sand land? Also what colour are the bus drivers eyes who drove past 3.5 hours ago.

Average perhaps 80%, it depends. I have cam plugins in member areas of several sites and I can see the drop of hits, that's member areas so quite the data we talk about.

Was thinking about this recently, but more in-line with sites that are still real updating legacy websites. Not some site that was big years ago but also has also been dead for years. Talking directly about legacy sites that still shoot and update with brand new material.

Think there's very few of them around and wanted to see a list of them. I'd add our Ladyboygold.com site (founded 2007 & still updating) to that list.

2005 is a bit far back to go for individual sites. 2005-2007 was a huge rush of new programs and a huge percentage of those are completely dead now.
