This type of cycle we believe is what started the downfall of porn sales. The over promoting and giving away free content. It's not the affiliates fault, I blame the sponsors. It's the sponsors that don't control and regulate their "free samples" and FHG's. They make 100's of them and with a few hundred active affiliates posting every single FHG everywhere, in 6 months the sponsor's site will be blown out... and he'll wonder why? Don't take my word for it, there's a post in GFY from DDF productions that talks about the same thing.
We took a lot of shit for limiting our affiliates to only 4 FHG's...but we will be here in the years to come and our affiliates will still be making small, but steady sales monthly. We've been going strong for over 2 years now even in a declining market place.
Control your content, that is the key.
Nobody buys the cow if they get the milk for free. Simple and still true in this market place.
