Content dominated the industry. The better in quality and the more in quantity ruled over sales and traffic. The problem was webmasters. They never got it. They thought, or tried to convince everyone, selling porn to men was a tough job.!!!!

They were overfed, pampered and cossetted. And like mice they multiplied to a point where most were scraping a living to doing OK. Cut all the support system and money, only the strong survive. The number of surfers remains constant. Sales for those left, skyrocket and at 25% rev share those left earn more. At 10% those left are earning a fortune.

Pay 50%, add all the support and marketing to affiliates. Add the other costs of running sites. Then what's left for profit and the product = a shit product.

Unless.


The content producer is a pornographer and part of the management/ownership team. Look at all the great sites and see how it worked.

That was the biggest mistake many made. When the going was easy.
