What changed in our Industry was the traffic flow. We used to share it, from a gallery, a trade, a hardlink, cj sites, even paysites did it with exits. Today, other than a few submit passes and minor sources, this has all but dried up.
10 years ago any joe that could use netscape gold could rip out a crap page, toss it up on one of many many many free hosts, submit it by hand, and instantly get some beer money while a site make some cash too.
That's gone today.. that traffic is bottle necked between a 100 or so sites, almost all of which don't share the traffic, at least not at mass volume so the entire Industry can tap into it.
If you want the sales, just go where the traffic is... I guarantee you the sales will follow.

You're right man. I really hated the days when Serge would send me $60k checks, I'd pull 50k hits a day from search engines and convert that at 1:200, then switch to ifriends and make $20k - $25k a week, then switch to TCG and compete with WiredGuy over had made the most sales. Things are so much better now.
BBL, gotta make some bullshit tube sites and give all the porn away that I used to get paid for.
