only 1 in maybe as few as a 1,000 will sign up and spend money. And that's where we are today. It's thanks to those who believe traffic and marketing are the solution that today maybe as few as 1-5,000 online porn consumers buy online porn.

It is a nice thought that the customer knows best, sadly I don't think the evidence is there, Its Coke the best soft drink, Is McDonalds and KFC the best food ? No people are manipulated into buying an image a lifestyle.
We are even taught what is visually good images - through a history of art cinema etc...
Porn also has its culture, and one of it's main traditions is the rougher, worse, poorer it is shot the more real and better....
I do not follow the logic of the ratios, if one in a 1000 buys on a paysite, that does not mean that only 1 in a thousand buys porn, the 999 may have gone to the next site and joined. In fact if they were not interested in buying why would they be visiting a paysite in the first place? I visit hundreds of sites but only have joined 3, so I would just on my oen have created 999 visits to paysites and i purchase.
There are a lot sites out there, and the choice is great.
The difficulty is in reaching an audience and being known, but ratios don't mean anything.
