My point to you Paul, content producers are not going to make money, the way to make money is what i haven't said yet... but with the traffic will come the sales

See? We all know tubes (set up the way they are) aren't going to make sales... that's a given
Agreed there are sales to be made.

My point is how many, by the method we use?

Revenue in porn used to be fantastic. And in the early days of the Internet it was fairly good. The damage done to offline porn was ignored, as was the route reason of the damage. Ratios were ignored, because a lot of people were making a living.

Still makes no difference to the core problem. 99 in 100 were not buying. This was at a time when most traffic was from the prime countries. Still as you say sales were being made and those lost were ignored.

Today the biggest player in online porn isn't telling us of his plans to open paysites that will shake the market. not telling us they're going to raise the level of what they sell from existing sites. They're going to open more Tubes or buy up the good ones. Which will mean more given away and less sales.

Damian is typical of the online porn industry today. A lot of people working from home on their own scraping a living. The height of his career was 1995 when he ran a team of people for Haymarket. Since then the slide has been downhill all the way.

To working as an employed "marketing consultant".
Then a self employed "marketing consultant".

Who does a great job at making himself look stupid and needs no help from me.
