Yet, the majority of us, continue to do the same thing, continue to think the same way. And we continue to fall.
One of the first things we have to realise is the amount of traffic a site gets is irrelevant. It's the number of sales that site makes that's important and the key to the solution.

So what if a site gets 1 billion hits an hour. Those 1 billion hits are all costing money until some spend money. If they don't spend enough the site goes down to BW bills. You can put a store on Times Square but unless that store sells something you only have the rent to pay.

I imagine traffic - spend ratios on a Tube are 1-1000, we only need to get 1 in 1000 to come back to buying to make Tubes a problem we USED to have. Sadly we have been focusing on the 999 and not the 1 for the last 10 years.

We will not win the 1 back back by continuing to focus on the free loaders.

That's what I will be doing and you can see if it works. What will not work is caring about how many free loaders are looking at free porn.
