To be honest I don't know who's had what levels of success the past 4 years. I've been out and really not in the loop on what's worked and what hasn't. So to comment on anything in the past 4 years would be silly for me.

It's a lot of hard work to reach any level of success. My point as I mentioned earlier is that for many of the most talented content producers their skill is in producing amazing content. Looking back on the history of pay sites those that did best were usually successful because of very aggressive marketing and not so much on their content. Twistys never had the best content but we damn sure were one of the market leaders in our niche. So my point to the thread was which businesses out there producing good content but aren't quite at the level they should be. Digital Desire has been mentioned a few times. It's a good example because from affiliate perspective it's the type of content affiliates would like to push hard but it just doesn't yield results. So I believe those that reach levels of success usually reach it because of smart and dedicated marketing push. Not just on content. I'm looking to find companies that don't have time for marketing and rely on the strength of their content to market for them.

I believe you said there is no great content in the industry besides blacked.com. I think that is a bold statement. Ruseful may not be "great" content to you but in terms of satisfying what customers want it is a direct hit.
I probably didn't clearly express what I was looking for in the first post. But it wasn't to discuss sites that smash it, Bang Bros, RK, Braz etc. It was to discuss the lesser pushed but strong content. Those are the guys that imo need help not only to grow but to survive moving forward. So I'm looking for a list of companies like that.
