So the problem isn't getting traffic. It's getting enough traffic to make a standard wage.
1,000,000 SE hits, forget about it and if you could you're wasting your time in adult.
1,000,000 off traffic guys. Dead easy = Income Very Low
1,000,000 to a tube site. Easy = Income off surfers converting at around 1-5,000 low, around $6,000 a month assuming you get $30 a sign up. If the sponsor provides everything it's nearly all profit and making $72,000 from the spare room as a one man band isn't to be laughed at. Start spending money to get traffic, hosting, programs it's still not bad. but please. It's not big bucks.
So getting traffic, masses of it isn't hard. Earning a living off it that's getting harder. Because sign ups are king and retention Emperor.
Do you now see my point? We've billions of surfers, well a lot. Getting them to free porn isn't that hard, getting enough to get one to buy is the problem. We've tackled this problem the same way for 12-15 years and look where we are today?
It's time to look for a new solution, not keep beating our heads against the wall with the old one.
I had some great meeting and discussions with a couple of guys at the Prague show and will post some thoughts tomorrow.
Is there something we could do to turn 1-5,000 to 1-500 in actual surfers, not banner clicks? Yes deliver a product hat's really going to make them want to see more. Vjo has the right thinking.

Imo IF you can find something that sells, it is easier now days to get ahead because traffic is easier to get. It is tougher overall now days for sure but for a few it may be actually easier to get ahead now days.

Yes if you can find something mainstream that really sells, can't be cloned easily and won't break the bank to create it. Then you're on the road to $$$$$$$$$$$$.
As a sponsor yes, as an affiliate the problem is soon everyone and their brother will be promoting it. Still it will get good sales.
The problem toady, we discussed at the show, was today very very few have something that really sells well. Who was it who said dozens of really good sites? Even 100 would make it a minority of paysites.
But I understand affiliates feeling of impotence. There's little they can do but keep adding more traffic. They are merely feeding off what sponsors give them. Or could they?
