It was a joke. Paul Markham has repeatedly said traffic is easy to get, anyone can do it, and it is shooting content that is hard.

So, some unkind people are posting mocking him for having to post here asking for traffic. They are also mocking him for asking for traffic from free tube sites (as he hates those and blames them for the demise of the industry he made millions in). They are also mocking him for thinking that even buying traffic is easy.

I think they are all meanies and I am trying to help Paul, as is the guy with the hot avatar.

Traditionally Paul isn't good at asking for help, or taking advice when given it. But this time I am sure he will come round.

@Paul, another thought I had is that as you are talking 6 figures a month, your friend would also be wise to consider other forms of marketing. A loose insert in a mag with demogs that match your needs would be good. If you use the NRS and TGI surveys you can find which titles will have a higher % of credit card ownership. Loose inserts make testing easier. Also, just buying some banners on some reputable sources would probably convert better than free tube porn traffic. Direct mail would also be a good one to look at as you could rent lists from publishers and ONLY target those with a credit card. Might want to look into radio spots or cable too.
