How long before affiliates disappear from the porn industry?
My post is shaped by the industry today, maybe for the last 15 years or more and the future
How many of you think that if none of you worked in porn, traffic would decrease? If there were no affiliate programs, would no people ever surf porn?
Who here brings in people who would not have ever bought/viewed porn? The answer is none, you feed off an existing need to devour porn and do nothing but direct them to sites to your choice where they choose whether to buy.
You're not good enough salesmen to sell the user something they don't want. That's the area of real salesmen. Fancy words don't change bad porn into good porn and the user knows the difference.
There has come a time when more models on OF, MFC, scenes on Tubes, pornsites and live cams, etc defeat the object of bringing in new buyers. We reached that point years ago when most sites stopped, slowed down or reduced the cost of the product. That affects the quality, which affects sales, which reduces the profit.
So expect large companies with global profiles to ignore al those but the ones bringing a lot of sales every day. Especially when modes can promote themselves, sites can submit galleries, buy adverts at pennies for 100s.
Then they can spend the money on making sure the product converts. Rather than paying 50%+ and delivering a less than perfect product.
