Who holds the cards in the future?
 

A sponsor made a statement at the meeting in Prague which in itself was worth turning up for.

We were discussing ways to make money and he came up with this. Order of success for the future. This was his opinion of who will make the money in the future.

Billing companies. Self evident if you can crack it, but the risks are enormous.

Programming companies. Specifically companies like NATS who offer the programs we want to buy. The investment in writing the right program again is immense.

Sponsors with in house content production. Sites that can offer something better or different from the 10,000 other sites competing for the same traffic.

We left it at that. The companies already established will carry on, but will they grow?

What do you think?

you forgot dating and live cam companies whos content is produced daily and is fresh and there is a never ending supply

You forgot people who make enough money to outsource arrogant posting.

Lars did you miss this part?

right sorry my bad :)

Yeah he also forgot spyware companies that infect user's computers and then steal from webmasters by overwriting our affiliate codes with their own.

And then there are the companies that buy traffic from them. :disgust
