The only difference is that today, I dont have near as much traffic. But when I can now convert at 1:30 I dont need near as much. My sales are anything but gone and I'm still doing a comfortable 5-figures per month and have always been a one-man operation.
And to be honest, I have never built a tube site and if I ever had ratios as horrible as what most tube owners call 'good' I'd have a fucking heart attack over it. Its funny that tube sites lure the surfers in with porn and then push dating and cams. Kill one market to push another. Maybe McDonalds should give away free hamburgers so they can sell fries & sodas.

If you're doing a difference source for a different market today... how can you compare that to years ago?
Like I don't think free porn or anything made newsgroups die, which used to really pump some sales. The traffic simply moved, many times over. I can't really compare today to then, because it was sooooo different.
I have a feeling the traffic you bring in is probably rather filtered. A Google search alone starts the filter for you, and I bet you did a few more things to help. If you did the same thing with a tube today, it converts great, numbers you would expect. But at mass volume, a banner or just normal ads, no... that isn't going to rock any conversions unless the ad/content totally kills it. - But it's always been that way!
Dating and cams is not the income earners for major tubes... yes they make money, but it's prepays that pad the pockets. More than enough major companies willing to fork down the 5-6 figure, monthly, ad costs, that they've been renewing for years now. One would have to think.... the traffic isn't complete shit if they keep having the same buyers, over and over - for sure at those prices.
KCF has given away a ton of food making lines around the block.... it works if you're also selling something.
