Did you see the bounce rate and time spent on the site? No, because you ignore what surfers do of their own accord and always think you're in control. Do the Google algorithms now favour sites that don't see surfers coming straight back? Do you stay or return to a site that's no good? So why do you expect others to?
Google just gathers huge numbers of surfers then sends them to the sites that match the search words. The surfer makes the decision where, how long to stay and whether to consume. All the money Tubes spends comes eventually from content sales.
A bad site needs more traffic than a good site. And there's your problem.
From 1997 or was it 1996 pornographers were selling online and we all told the same story. Sales were low, prices offered laughable and it was only a secondary market, offline was where the money was.
When approached by webmasters they were offering deals where they got all the content and went off and did what they liked with it and sent us some rev share deal or laughable money. We all had access to models, skills and knowledge how to get the best out of them, Gonzo shooters weren't scared to show their faces, equipment, staff, time, money and a huge inventory of content for updates. We were constantly shooting so new content was coming all the time. Plus we could tweak our content to suit styles. Very, very few were employed by publishers and all it took was for webmasters to prove the money was online.
But it's all over now as Tubes dominate and have most of the traffic which produce a fraction of the money of old. How many here make a 100% living from their own porn sites or selling other porn sites. Pre-Tubes most were making a living, some can retire on their income from porn.
