I hope I'm wrong, as I will be introducing new sites soon myself.
I guess time will tell, but my bet is we see a lot of adult profit drop off in 2008.

I am not entirely sure they are fine for business but the point to using a site that accesses millions of people quickly should be used as a portal to find paying clientele to divert to a pay site. What I put out on tube sites contains no nudity but is used as a teaser to bring them to join my site. Now I could have gone the route of throwing out there obscene amounts of footage to compete with others but my policy is if you want to see more....you pay
it may not always bring me the business I desire but we have to think as business individuals...do what is right for your business regardless of what the majority are doing. I will give you an example...this doesn't hold true in all cases but it is something I have witnessed. The DVD industry...when companies would get into a price battle at shows to sell more DVD's...people were selling them at one time for $20 a piece and customers bought them. Then a price war began, 2 for $20, then 3 for $10, then 5 for $10, I have even seen them as low as $1 a piece, after that came FREE PORN FOR EVERYONE! ALL companies lost money. I didn't compete with that but I sold only a few at my regular price and took my product home. Everyone else had virtually no more product but no money either
I would rather be in my position so I can rethink my business and find another way to make my money on my product
I see similarities here....free footage on the internet takes sales away but if you find a way to work these angles to bring you business, you may salvage enough to do well. You need to keep reinventing who you are, expand and diversify. Use the tubes to provide you with a great marketing angle so that the footage you do release up there can have a little twist to it and because it is different...curiosity will kill the cat...You will get your paying customers still.
Maybe I am wrong but giving the cow away for free in order to sell the milk doesn't work either we all know that
