Well....do they rip your ass off??? NO, that's the general fucked up industry right now in 2012!!! Great, isn*t it?
A lot of the posters on GFY are brown nosing the bros. Pimproll is a bro so he can do no wrong. I'm not and can do no right.

Back in the day when we didn't give it all away I had a great idea of a site with rotating TGP galleries. Those who put it on their unused domains did well, we used it ourselves when galleries were good enough. When I brought the idea to the boards it was rubbished because I'm no bro.

A lot of trolls lost out because they couldn't think outside their small boxes.

And ultimately that's the problem with online porn. Few would make it any other business. Even some of the big guys are incredibly narrow minded when it comes to real business and marketing. For instance a site full of content that not every clown can shoot will always outsell a site with content any clown can shoot.

So why not do it?

Content is a long term investment and traffic isn't. Because to launch a site with great content will cost money up front. Shooters who can produce go to where the pay is best, not the worse. Sometimes it's impossible to bang out lots of great content in a day. Often it takes more than a girl on a sofa to set the scene. All this has to be done before a penny is taken in.

Traffic on the other hand needs a few pages on a tour and affiliates area. Content comes from what the site has, few shoot specific content for selling even though the aim of each one is different. Then programs have to be bought or wrote. Writing is a cost but nowhere near the cost of the content. Then marketing to affiliates.

Even with great content setting up the affiliate side has to be done.
