It's not hard to get 100K hits and you can still make shit from it if the traffic sucks.

Your original quote saying traffic is not king is bullshit. Traffic is king, but it's quality traffic, not trash traffic.

Your comments here saying if you can get 100K's of traffic you can make a living is more bullshit, if the that traffic sucks you aint making dick.

Stick to shooting content and talk about stuff that you at least know a little bit about.
Sadly someone who still can't see the obvious. What's quality traffic? Something that converts 1-50?

That's your problem and everyone else's. They convert at a level I think is crap and they think is great. Warchild actually boasted he could convert 1-500 of people he sent to a site from a Tube. Shut up very very fast when I pointed out that it was traffic he sent and asked how many did he need to send 500.

So how many do you need to send 50, to get a single sign up?

How many of these surfers can you get a day and at what cost?

And what was it 10 years ago and 5 and 3 years ago?

And what will it be in 5 years from now?

If the content were real quality you would need far less traffic to convert, good or bad traffic it would still take less. The problem is fewer and fewer sites have quality content on them. Something that stands out and convinces more than 1-50 to get out their credit card. Then when the member is in the site, how long he stays depends on how long the site keeps his interest. Send quality traffic to a sit with medium quality porn and you lose money.

Finding a site with real quality content that the customer isn't already well aware of is getting harder by the day.

But no worries, keep generating more traffic, while less join.
