Anyway, the person would masturbate, that's my point here. Back when people bought real porn people really masturbated, not like today...

But I digress. So when that person was finished masturbating to the superior product that was magazine porn, they would not go back to the store and ask for a refund and, if they did, would be beaten mercilessly by a giant asian "security man".

Another reason online porn is failing: refunds. Right Paul?
No they didn't ask for a refund, they just never bought that product again. And sales went down and down. The chances of getting it onto new retailers shelves became less and less and the product/brand suffered.

Today look at it like affiliates, try a program, if it doesn't perform they move on. surfers try a site, if the like the tour they might buy, if they like the members area they stay, if it's nothing special they do neither.

Is the main solution to drive more traffic to the site or convert more of the traffic you have?

What would affiliates like. More affiliates driving traffic to the site or more of their traffic converted? Silly question, so think about this. How does a site get more traffic easiest.

It takes much more to convert your audience and to keep it.
