This tool is excellent for paysite owners and it's also damn useful for affiliates if they know how to promote stuff on tubes.

And no, I don't think that you should post full length videos or that anyone should, you want to tease like in the old times..
And theres the problem.

It used to be there's no harm in posting 10 pictures on a TGP. Then it was there was no harm in posting 15 so long as non were hardcore. Then it was OK if only 1 or 2 were hardcore. And the amount escalated in what was safe.

And the number of people escalated, so more people were giving out more free porn. And all the time ratios were getting worse.

Now it's OK if it's only 3-5 minutes. But I see sites with 6-8 minute clips. And then there's the site with full scenes. What will be the next thing to leap frog Tubes with full scenes? What ever it is you can bet it will be about giving buyers less reasons to buy and more reasons to stay on free sites.

The problem with this marketing is if you have little other real means to market your product than leap frog what others are doing you're never in front for long. Once 1 does it 100 follow, them 1,000. It's a slippery slope.

Doc I know who Hustler, are, not sure about these guys PB, TB, RK. To my knowledge Hustler don't have a crap product. Branding works for Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Bentley, and a few others. It doesn't work for Skoda or Ford especially the way we do it. To make branding work it has to portray the vision your product is above the rest. If when the buyer gets it he finds it's no different to the rest he is more disappointed because his expectations were higher.

No other company has used the free method of advertising like the adult industry has. They give away little samples, 2 for the price of 1 offers and similar. No freemium isn't new. But it's never been taken to the level of the adult Internet.

None have built a network of free samples so big it rivals the product sold. Imagine a biscuit maker giving away enough biscuits for a day outside a supermarket. The pile of free biscuits is replenished every day, there are every flavor the buyer could wish for and all the buyer has to do is fill his basket with free samples and take them home. How many packets do you think he will sell?

The economic decline is not the only reason the market is down. If you're praying it will return when the economy recovers. My advice is to save every penny you make now. Because it will get worse.
