You're not seeing the bigger picture. Using Alexa...take a look at the big boys of affiliate traffic in 2007. Look at The Hun, look at World Sex, look at AL4A, etc. Those were the biggest freesites in the world and sent the most traffic to people.

Now, take a look at the Alexa numbers for the traffic people that are CM's biggest affiliates...guys like Joggs and Boobster and XCel Those guys are the kings of making sales with their freesites for big tits.

See the HUGE drops all the way around?

Now, take a look at Pornhub, Redtube, etc. See the HUGE increase and high Alexa rankings?

Guess what happened?

All the surfers who used to go to the legitimate freesites: tgp's, blogs Well, they are now at the illegit TUBE sites full of stolen content.

Now if my affiliates can no longer send the amounts of traffic that they once could...that means that our tour no longer gets that traffic.

It's pretty simple to understand when you look at it the right way.

Same as I've been saying over the last year...affiliate sales are DOWN. Type-in sales are through the roof.

Reason being that the legitimate affiliates who run a proper free site have far less traffic to send than has ever been. And all that traffic is now enjoying full scenes on the tubes. My TGP's for instance, can in no way shape or form compete with Pornhub.

Doesn't matter how much hard work I do. Or how creative I am. In the end run...a site full of free full scenes and entire members areas will kick the fuck out of my blogs and tgps.

And THAT is why my Alexa rating is where it is on Claudia-Marie.Com and not much higher. At one point it was around 8,000 now it's 16,000+ I'm actually getting more type in traffic than EVER. But when I send out galleries and my affiliates put those galleries on their site...well, in 2007 a good affiliate might have sent me 50,000 uniques from that. In 2009 they might send 250 uniques

They simply don't have that traffic anymore.

Hope that makes sense to you.

it does...
its just that i still see paysites like you, the Duke, Twistys, Playboy, still getting good alexa numbers, so i assume you are still selling your content. So instead of making a million a year, you make 500K. From where i sit, that doesnt seem like the worst thing in the world. But I make about 30K right now. i would likely feel different if i was making what you make. but it comes back to the question in the movie "wall street" - how many more yachts can you buy that will make you happy?

i see a free world that is so collosal, it seems like the "war on terror" or the "war on drugs" in terms of the fight. no matter how much time & energy you put into DMCA, the weeds keep growing.

PS - in the future, no more attacks from me on your business. i like you & what you do. Im a dumbass to attack you. "JoshGirls" by definition, are beautiful well endowed ladies who perform exercises that bounce their boobs. Hopefully you will like what i am about to start selling.
