Nubiles.net and
Anilos.com 2010 looks like it will end up as good as 2008 which was our best year. We skipped the recession that year and while it did hit us in 2009, 2010 is definitely not having the same patterns.
Among sites still buying exclusive content most have cut their their costs severely, but we still update the exact same amount. We cut a lot of producers to work with a handful and now many of our producers get prepaid for content. Compare that to producers waiting 3+ months from other sites to pay them. Besides met-art I don't think many others are still spending as much.
