it has been possible but under a very specific situation
you own the pornstarname.com
you have the first 5 positions on every search engine
and google didn't dominate the market

ie when yahoo was free, and made multiple catagories days

That's a ratio you only get from a fine tuned and heavily filtered email campaign. During the BEST days, 1/300 was pretty damn respectable. Thinking you can base your business on the judgement of models is insane. Not knowing that about half the people like a talkative model and half like them quiet and half like them to look at the camera and half of them hate it and they ALL want the dudes to STFU... well there's just no way you can be in this biz and not have absorbed that knowledge. You can't please everyone, so you pick your audience and you cater to it. If you're aware of ANOTHER audience you're attracting and not satisfying, then you build something for them and redirect them.

This thread is basically a lot of jacking off.
the key point is conversion failing at a rate faster or slower then the growth of the traffic

if it take me 10 minutes to get a million hits where i could only get 10,000 in the same amount of time, then conversion can go from 1:10 to 1:1000 and i am still equal.

it actually the best time now because you can get ungodly traffic and you can convert tube traffic in 1:374 level now.
