pornmasta, nice math, but you fail.

Let's play this game:

1 in 10 surfers to your blog, tgp, free site, guide, whatever clicks on a sponsor link.

1 in 1000 of those that click a sponsor link actually signup.

say 20% of all surfers are infected with spyware (low number, I have heard numbers closer to 50% in some cases, probably better now as Microsoft is giving away their malicious software removal tool).

1 in 10,000 turns to 1 in 12,000, straight numbers. But in reality, it gets worse, because the people most likely to have the spyware has hardcore porn surfers. So the number is likely much worse when it comes to porn.

It gets worse if the spyware companies are popping the same site over the one people are going to (or a very similar competitive site) as you are not only losing control of the surfer, but they are going to steal sales as well. 1 stolen sale moves your from 1 in 12,000 to 1 in 24,000 in a blink.

The numbers are truly depressing at times.
