So how's everyone's business?
 

Is the industry still slowly heading down?

Just curious :)

Actually picked up some for us...I dunno why

Some things up.
Some things down.
Just like any other month.
:)

Fucking booming.

last year $2000. This year barely $200 :(:(:(

Doesnt really matter your post count on this one. Some people have been on easy street way to long.

This is nothing new to those who have been developing on the internet since the mid 90's. Bubbles pop, trends come/go, web 1 - 2.0. From a mainstream perspective the adult industry always lead the way for the developing internet. Now, that has nearly stopped. Adult industry cant take a complete dive into 2.0, due to 2257 - and innovation is minimal from the adult community.

Truth is this industry will never die, it will just evolve. Reality check - the old timers of the industry are right "It's Not the Good 'ol Days", shit - this means your gonna have to actually work for the money. All part of evolution - saturation, is just like over population. Some say tube sites are the cancer. Others speculate its xsells. Even wilder - I've seen people on GFY blaming bad webmaster programs tactics. Its all speculation in the end, no one has a crystal ball - but i would bet (rather i know) this industry will never die - just evolve. So if the real question is will YOU be the industry much longer turning a profit - its back to evolution. Will you evolve? Can you evolve?

It is doing great for me.. Just have to adapt and change with things..

amazing profits

Doing great here. December is going to end up as our 3rd best month of this year. Yeah for gays! Woohoo!

100% agreed!

Yesterday
330 hits
25 sales

So yeah, it's going pretty good

Bad for me ... :(

Sales have never been better.

I'm averaging $65 per sale and converting under 1:25 raw from exit consoles on Chinese warez sites.

See sig for sponsor link.

Sales have been through the roof for Nov. and Dec. - plus with the more lucrative currency exchange from USD to Can. - we're smilin' once again.

But yeah...its all just trends we've been through for the past decade. Been there/done that many times over. We just persevere.

Smart post indeed, i really fed-up reading whiny bitchs posts, i %100 agree...

So true.

first honest reply :winkwink:

no program will say that they're 50% down compared to one year ago

Not everyone is down 50% nig.
:disgust

I'm saying those who are (especially affiliate programs) will not reply

my programs have been slow to get off the ground because im lazy, so im in the red there. On the other hand 2008 was a really good year for all my TGP's and their sales, so i'm not doing bad.
I should say though, if I wern't so god damn lazy i'de be rolling in the cash. 2008's lesssons were: NEVER lend money for anything to anyone and, dont be fucking lazy.
Good* year all around, except for being lazy.

Ah. You're talking about the BROS.

100% Agree.

I will admit that sales the past two days have been very nice compared to a VERY slow december. Most proggie owners will never see this thread so its kinda hard to comment on who would say what. I can tell you the past two days have done a ton for my confidence in the adult industry. Almost like the good old days.

I could not agree more as well. Same whiny bullshit everyday in here. Roll with the changes and be innovative.

Nowhere but up, up, UP!

i roll with my punches like mike tyson when he was in his prime :pimp

how is teen cash converting?

pretty same here...
no bigger changes...

I have no idea, Im just a sigwhore! :)

Aside from one of my dedicated servers failing without any backups (115 sites, roughly 30% of my network is down), December was still an amazing month. Sales since Christmas eve have been rocking. Even with 30% of my network currently down my earnings are up about 20% from last month.

sounds about right :thumbsup

I am pretty new...so not that good yet. I told my wife I will try this for a couple of years...so far it is a lot of work...but still more fun then getting a second job.

I realized that my personal favorite niche Japanese does not seem to convert into sales very well? So I might have to try some differnet ways to convert or just mix it up with other niches.

"Some girls are bigger than others... some girl's mothers are bigger than other girl's mothers"

Me too! :thumbsup

Good December. Ratios are pretty bad but I managed to drum up more traffic.

Libertine, who's the girl in your avatar????

Also, this industry will always be heading downward :(

Its not heading down it has spread out. This recession should get rid of a lot of webmasters and those who make it should see their market share go up.

Broadway/Riverdale area

Here we go.. all the site owners tells us sales is up and all the affiliates tells us sales are down... :)

The last time I shopped on Fordham Rd. I was going to knock someone out. :1orglaugh Your like 5 minutes from me...and since you have like 10,000 posts you gotta show me the ropes of this biz one day. :thumbsup

I lived in the Bronx as a little boy with my mom & dad and we all also lived in my grandmother and grandfather's house, right near Castle Hill Avenue & the Cross Bronx Expressway. Was just looking through some old photo albums at my parent's house over Christmas and it brought back a lot of memories.

We had one of our better days for initials just yesterday...and yea, we're evolving!

Da Bronx is not so bad...John Gotti was born in the Bronx. :)

I lived here 41 years...you just need to be a little street smart. Just recently I feel it might be time for a change...but 15 minutes from Manhattan and 2,500 outdoor handball courts...can't beat that. If I did not have family in the Bronx and Westchester...I would love to live somewhere in Orange County California, I was out there in October and could just imagine having Palm trees in my yard. The wife just told me last week she wants a 2 bedroom...and start a family...so it might be soon to leave this rat race of a city. If we stay in NY she wants to live where the taxes are insane...Westchester or Long Island. shhees instead of hanging out on GFY...I better keep making web pages. :helpme
