Agreed and my comments are in no way directed at them. The good thing would be to look at those who do still make good money and ask why. Then how can it be duplicated?
The problem with so many online guys is they think inside their box and anyone who thinks in a different box is wrong.
Bangbus did great numbers at the beginning. Because they took an idea from mainstream, adapted it and were the first to bring it online. They produced for what was then a good product, the only criticism I have of them is it became a bit repetitive. How many time can you watch the same scene shot with the same guys or/and by the same guys before it gets boring?
However still a good site.
Partyhardcore is the same. It looks like it's now been taken over by Evil Angel. Perfect Gonzo, FTV girls, Alsscan and more. But no where near enough. And how many affiliates were promoting them. Were they saturated programs? Saturated with affiliates.
How did they pay for their good to great content? Not by throwing masses of traffic. By converting and retaining better. They got masses of traffic by the good affiliates because they worked well.
Then how many sites were thrown up, cheap content, good design and massive traffic?
The problem was all those cheap sites were put up and promoted by people who thought inside their box and anyone offering something different to think about was ridiculed. Those who thought the same as them were made into "Bros".
