Not to start too much shit Fletch XXX... but I have to disagree
It doesn't matter what you might have seen 5 years ago at a show, the landscape is entirely different now.
Babenet? Well, I don't know about the parent company but I can tell you that the feeds, etc aren't likely to make them the biggest revenue player. My take from the last three years of going to the shows, running an affiliate program and talking to tons of webmasters is that their affiliate program isn't all that popular at all. Sure, they've got the motherload of content. However, I don't care how many feeds they lease out there's nothing that compares to having 50,000-100,000+ active members.
ARS isn't shit? TopBucks isn't shit? Oh C'mon, give me a fucking break. If you think these are small companies with less than a few mil a year in revenues you're way off.
SHAWCUTIE - You may want to ask why GFY has blocked out ooooooo with all oooooo's in my post... that's kinda werid!
Content ISN'T king, traffic is. Content is a commodity whereas traffic really isn't. It seemed to me the jist of this thread was about internet big dogs. If that's so, forget Playboy, Penthouse, etc. They're all failiing miserably online.
