The vast majority of people have done nothing to change the way they operate. They still pay way too much to throw traffic at sites that except for HD have changed little in the last 5 years. They still don't spend enough on what the customers pay for.

Some sites still think adding 5 scenes that are exactly the same as the 500 already on the site id the way forward. Most sites contain bland "girl on a sofa/bed" porn. The same scene over and over again. How many sites employ on a full time or part time or even buy in from the top shooters in the business. People like these;

Viv Thomas
Pierre Woodman
Bill Wright
Jack Harrison
Steve Hicks

And I'm sure the list can be added to. All shooters working still in the porn industry and have always been "Guns for Hire". Except the Porn Internet could or would never pay them enough. But the DVD industry can and does. Yes the DVD industry has been hit, but they still can afford these guys.

How many sites have lots of live content, how many sites have a really good twist to their porn. AND how many sites just churn out the same porn they've been churning out for years?

How many sites update with a scene that makes the member want to stay?

I recently re reviewed a top site and was appalled at the basic mistakes being made by a shooter many praise here. So I sent the owner an email of suggestions to improve the content he's adding. Didn't even get the courtesy of a reply.

To sell successfully to a repeat buyer, you have to have something worthy of buying.
