It's also a good idea to update the tour so that returning customers who canceled will be more likely to join since they will know they haven't seen it all before.
Back to talking business with the sensible.

For a site updating once a day on solo the cost is $6,000 a month, lesbian $15000, BG $30,000 a month. After processing, affiliates and content production what's the return on that investment?

And it's only 15 scenes, I based it on 1 set or video each day. If the site owner makes $10 on the the extra month he needs 600 retained members to pay for the updates on a solo girl site alone to pay for the updates only.

Is it really worth it for the member to spend $30 for the extra month or come back in 3 months and get 45 new scenes for $30? The figures are adjustable to fir the site.

If the content is exceptional and not duplicated on numerous sites elsewhere on the Internet yes. www.astral-blue.com does very good retention. But even that site has people canceling as soon as they join and then coming back in a few months.

Yes regular updates are good, if they make a profit.
