Content that has been providing you and your young wife a comfortable lifestyle in eastern europe?

And all of this with an Alexa ranking of past 100k?

I call Bullshit...Unless you weren't making ANY money at all selling content.

Oh, and I forgot to add, you gotta add in all of that money you make selling to print magazines...

ooooookkkkkkkk
If only someone could read and think at the same time. I think I covered it before but here it is again.

CCBILL is the smallest CONTENT STORE card processor we have, the biggest being the merchant account.

If everyone bought our content I would be taking a suite at the Venetian for the show. but then it would be saturated and it would not convert. Ever heard of an oxymoron?

Alexa rankings while a good indication to traffic do not tell you a thing about conversions and retention.

We always made enough money from content to afford me to fly to shows and stay in the smaller rooms.

GFY has to have it's haters.

Lifer and Pornwolf, you will be happy to know Eva is working hard in the studio and I had a meeting in Amsterdam last week that will bring in a new supply of good content. She was in NY earlier this year.

Not saying it's going to allow me to retire to the Bahamas. Just that it's not as tough as I was told.
