If you have porn like Party Hardcore that is unique different and well shot you can protect it. Then when the surfer who likes it sees it he has to join the site to view it.

If you have porn of a blond on a sofa getting shafted and faking it you can't protect it effectively. Because if the surfer see it, likes it, wants more and you have deleted every scene you produced, the surfer can watch any of the other 10,000 videos of a blond on a sofa getting shafted, then the surfer does not need you. Don't complain about the number you know what I mean.

This industry for ten years built the number of sites, DVDs, affiliates, traffic, shops and lost the focus on the buyer. Now the buyer does not see any reason to pay because very little is worth paying for.

BV has a good point.

Sales were fine back then. Conversions have steadily dropped over the years little by little

but there were always new people coming online everyone was happy,
Where and who are the new surfers coming online? Probably not places we are selling to as well as we did.

This industry spends millions talking to people with traffic they have little clue what it requires. Too many computer guys trying to sell a product they don't know to a person they don't understand.

Um, not to spoil the party, but you guys do know most industries use surveys and focus groups to find out what customers want. But I know, your money and time would be better spent buying sigs or skinning GFY than actually finding out what the customer wants.

Has anyone thought about offering surfers a free download if they complete a simple survey? Then all this bullshit about why people don't buy anymore can be put to rest once and for all. Heck, I'll even supply the clip if someone sets up the survey.
I will also give a scene to anyone who wants to run an independent survey. I talk to members all the time, the main problem is they want more of the girls from 6 years ago. I am constantly being asked if I have more of girls who put everything into a scene. Even people who saw the scene on a Tube site ask for more like it.

Most content buyers only want too know how cheap and how many scenes can they get for the dollar. So they can spend money sending traffic to sites the traffic is losing interest in buying from. So send more traffic. This has been happening for years.
