Epoch has the stats for what they are selling, not total visits to the pages the people are purchasing from. There might be even say 10x as much purchases being made, but from 10000x as many sites.
Some people are saying traffic is harder to get, both sponsors and affiliates. We all know millions of people are now looking on Tubes. If Fabian is to believed it was 20 million a day on his alone. Multiply that by the number of similar tubes and the figure is huge. Even with BS it's millions of people hitting free Tube sites and we know how well they convert.

Now either they're non porn buyers pre 2007, either didn't buy or couldn't, or some of them are EX BUYERS.

Even during the boom times ratios of people looking at free porn and people buy was 1-100s if not 1-1,000. Today those ratios must really suck. Logic tells us millions are on Tubes sites and never go anywhere else. They no longer click on links, banners or adverts. They're there for the free porn.

Epoch have an Alexa ranking of 33,264. CCBILL 1892. How much switches from CCBILL to Epoch in % of CCBILL to make Epoch so happy? Not a lot I suspect.

When people on boards start telling everyone every things rosy, when people start spending more on content, custom or not, when more people post on GFY than leave, when more people attend a show every year than less. Then I might start to believe the business is turning. As usual all Damian can answer is "Epoch said."

Yes Eva has got a job, like so many of us ours wives work. Mine because she was bored. Even so the extra money is great. Damian has no one except his Mum And Dad.

Yes my house is near a farm and the front over looks a river and the back over looks a farm, wheat field usually. Damian's rented flat over looks a busy street at the front and a railway at the back.

Why would Epoch lie? It's called marketing sweetheart.
