If they like to call it selling then let them. In the real world it's sending traffic and hoping for the best.

They can filter and hone it, yet ultimately it's a numbers game. Because they can't deal with them as individuals on a one to one basis and sell to their needs.

Also to sell you have to know about your product, what it does, what it's strong and weak points are. Few here know that about anything but a few niches. I've been in porn 3 decades and only know teens and big tits well. I love Penthouse Glamor, but couldn't sell it.

You only have to look into sites to see how little the owners know about the niche, few really nail their niche. Now is a pornsite owner selling porn or just getting so much traffic someone will buy?

Then how many people rely 100% on what the sponsor gives them? Good luck "selling" with only that.

If a person standing outside a disco giving free tickets for hot cute girls to come in and take a look at the disco is selling. Then so are webmasters.

No selling is a refined skill, that it's clear few here have.

If more traffic = more sales. This industry online would be full of billionaires.

Before anyone comes in with some more BS let's see proof.

Forget my sites as proof I can sell a paysite membership. The content was shot for offline and know it's not what would sell best online. We couldn't afford to change our game.
