I am honestly confused...
robbie, now you are saying if free sites go away the industry is dead?
gleem,
your donut example... in my opinion its a bit different...
I had this huge donut story almost typed up, but it got rather complicated and silly in the end ;) so...
what I think is, there is two ways through town, one that goes by the dunkin donuts and one that is not. The fact that there is someone outside of the dunkin donuts store giving away donuts has made more people walk along that route, way more... and people opened up shop all around... this caused two things:
More people bought donuts, simply because of the mass of people. But also, it was split up among various places...
Your 1000 sales a day comment is true and false. First of all, there still are plenty programs that do 1000 sales a day. But most importantly, I think you are wrong with that many programs years ago... Also, 10 years ago, there were maybe 25-50 big programs. Today, there are probably 400 NATS programs alone, another 250 MPA programs, and 1000 CCBill programs... ON TOP of the still 10 or so big players...
The sales had to be divided somehow..
