What media are you buying? Porn films, stories, etc?

the word "media buyer" represents someone who is buying traffic from different media. one of the media is the internet. other media can be TC, magazines, radio etc....

The business has changed a lot. Back in 1998 there were lots of media buyers who were creating sites and redirecting the offline porn buyers into online porn buyers then redirecting these people to their sites. Amongst them were a few real marketing people who looked at creating a product with attributes that could be marketed.

again these are not media buyers - these are webmaster affiliates what are rarely existing in this days because they canīt be focused on traffic generating AND monetizing this traffic with modern methods.
in 1998 we are where stupid and it was enough to know 10% about traffic generation and 10% of marketing this traffic. as long nobody is around who is better that works. but as you said times have changed. out there are now guys who understand 100% from traffic generation because they take this as their fulltime job. and other guys have no clue how to generate traffic but they know how to make money from it.

Now as you say people buy traffic from a free porn media site to sell something else and occasionally the media they had just jerked off to.
As for big money, that depends on one's perspective of what big money is.

i think you are out of time a bit you should look a bit around and then you see how the world have really changed.
i was in november in bangkok on the affiliate world asia. there where 3000 people there one site was the trafficgenerating gruop and the other group the traffic monetizing (media buyers).
only the entrance fee to this exibition is around 500 dollars in the cheap version and you would be surprised how many adult guys iīve saw there.
i was there already one year before and i think me and a handful others came from the porn industy. this year it was like 70% who are at least doing porn AND nonadult.
and you would even be more astonished if you could see what we sell on pornsites today.
not only gaming and gambling brings us a lot of money we are selling car tires, phones,
fashion and even WOMEN PRODUCTS. at the moment our revenue is just 20% from porn 45% from dating and 35% from products what have absoluteley NOTHING to do with porn.
and i think the revenue curve we have is not that bad, ist it?
yes paul THIS is the biz what is done today. i was creating a phrase 8 years ago what is:
SEX SELLS - BUT WHAT ?
on the stas curve you have the proof that this is true. we sell WITH porn but we do not live from porn anymore.
