Thank you for replying, will discuss your post part be part.

Never said it would. so no idea where you got it from. I'm talking about converting better than we do. Maybe from 1-500 to 1-400, retaining an average of 7 weeks to an average of 8.

Quote:
Quality is unique per site, project, product, etc... quality is in the eye of what the person wants or desires that is buying. Quality is not an equal standard set by you or anyone. Even the worst quality porn has value to some, and the best quality porn doesn't attract everyone.
Of course this is right, what is great to a guy who likes Glamor, is not to a guy who likes Amateur. No idea where you got this from, not from me. Even I know the site has to shape the ideas according to the niche/style. I've always said the same person shooting all the content for a site is limiting the viewers selection. Manwin is good in employing different shooters.

Quote:
What is adapt or die? It's changing and moving and never sitting still, moving with porn, as it moves throughout various technologies, systems, etc... it's in places you and me and others, will never think of, ever... but it's waiting for us to find and monetize it either way. This is the history of porn, from as far back as history can track it, it has moved.... always!
Of course that's adapting. So why hasn't online porn adapted? We still sell the same product we sold 13 years ago. All that's changed is resolution and size. Basically we haven't adapted anything but the mode of delivery and now losing customers because of the lack of adapting to the fact recorded porn is now every where for free. Online porn can deliver so much more than recorded porn. Some sites offer live porn. I'm adapting that model to the paysite model.

Quote:
So, the "issue" I see with your logic is simple, you're focused on the 'internet porn on a pc', at that "free" internet porn on the pc. That's one bubble, one thing... one tinny ass, micro revenue stream, within a technology and is two-steps down within the system.
This is a benefit not a disadvantage. Because the Internet mode of delivery is the only one that can use the idea and therefore puts it ahead in this area. Recorded porn can't, mobile porn can but the cost to the viewer is going to make it ineffective. You see it as a disadvantage for online porn, no idea why.

Quote:
Hello... McFly.
Insult again.

Quote:
If you want your ratios back, how about you start by not looking in the big pile of free loaders..... Huh? Logical eh?
It will attract those paying on sites without live porn as well as free loaders. It's an added benefit for anyone, buyers on other sites and maybe some ex buyers who gave up as recorded porn is available everywhere for free.

Quote:
Btw, your ideas on content is flat wrong. You think all this crazy shit has to be done with content, all these rules... fact is, you have no idea what is good or bad in porn, because you are not everyone in the world. You telling these producers what they're doing right and wrong, is so laughable... You have no idea what "members" want.. I know sites that break every single rule you say that retain a 100x better than the sites you think are good. Oh and cross 'technology' wise, people don't give a shit... they just want the damn porn!
More insults. With no proof adapting those sites wouldn't make the perform better. The people who just want the "dam porn" are catered for fine, Tubes, pirated, paysites with stacks of porn are everywhere. Why do you think that's the only thing everyone wants?

I'm telling people of something some could add to their sites to make them better. The situation is most simply couldn't afford it. A site with 1,000 would need to increase sign ups and retention by so much it's out of their reach. Unless they trim it back a lot. A girl 40 hours a week is going to cost from around $400 a week. $1600 a month. At $10 profit a sign up that's 160 sign ups, increase of 16%, will it perform that well? sites with 10,000 members only need an increase of 1.6%.

Which is an added benefit for those who can afford it. It keeps out the little man.
Quote:
I'm not cutting you down or being ass, but no bullshit - you have no idea wtf is going on in this Industry. You're not in it, accept the facts, why would you know this stuff? Other than people have been telling you it for like 2 years and you just ignore it.
More insults. As you reached the wrong conclusions about what I'm posting, you don't have the right to say I have no idea.

The shame is people don't tell me what it's like today, except those who tell everyone it's getting tougher. And there's a lot who tell that.

You think inside the box all the time. If people only want the porn, then they can get it for free. And are doing so in increasing numbers.

Thank you for answering it's clear you're reading my posts wrongly. This is in no way going to increase ratios to 1-1, it's wrong to assume that. In fact I have said it's out of the reach of most sites and only for the elite. Maybe I'm dreaming there's an elite who could afford it. How many sites have a 10,000 recurring membership? The way so many talk I would of thought quite a few.

It's so obvious that principle ideas have to be adapted to each individual site, not right for every surfer or every site could afford it. I felt I didn't need to say it. I was wrong.

Thank you for replying.

Apart from that... they do what they do and they made some great fetish videos wich I find surprisingly good.
As you've been around 20 years, you'll know how well magazines paid shooters. The competition to get in was fierce. If we submitted a set with the same shot repeated over and over again, it was thrown back at us. There's simply no need to repeat the same pose over and over again, even a picture of a pussy, how many times do you need to look at it? When it's the same pose with no pussy, you know the shooter isn't working properly.

Another elementary mistake is framing of wide screen video. Shooters are shooting girls standing, sitting or kneeling too much in wide screen format. The result is a scene which is often 50% to 70% the room. They need to shoot more her in the positions best suited for Wide Screen framing, laying, on all fours or on her side.

Also screens today are wide. Many shooters still shoot in portrait mode. Not right.

Quote:
As for investing in productions: I shoot a lot of different things from very mild to very extreme and pay models up to 5000 euro per day, cash. I fly them in from all over the world, including the USA. Many people told me, and still tell me, I'm crazy. But when paying models that kind of crazy money, they'll do anything you ask them to do, they push their own limits, and they'll keep doing it till 4 in the morning if neccessary to get the shoot done. My customers love what I shoot, they see gorgeous girls doing the filthiest stuff, and this is what porn is all about, and should be about. Being a good pornographer means you have to have the guts and be willing and be capable of re-inventing porn. Nobody is interested in copy cats. Remember the first Andrew Blake movie? Great stuff. How long did it take before other producers copied his style (black and white shots, slow motion, pans and tilts?)? And it was all CRAP!
That's simply out side most sites budgets. The want to pay $300 to $500 for a solo girl scene. This is why so many sites fail to retain. They don't spend the money Met Art do.

Quote:
I agree on the piracy problem but we have to continue trying fighting it, or else! We need to do the things I listed in my previous post about preventing piracy. I agree though that if your neigbor doesn't do anything against it, it still affects you. Why would people pay for YOUR porn if they can get your neigbors porn FOR FREE elsewhere?
Fighting is fine, we need to also compete with it.

Quote:
I also agree on the LIVE thing. It's something I want to add to my sites soon. Pirates can never steal that from you, and they can never duplicate it, because they don't have the skills to produce. That's why they became pirate parasites in the first place :-)
It's another good reason to sign up and stay signed up.

Quote:
Has there been any kind of parasite in recent history that humans weren't able to get rid off or at least control it?
Many. Ever seen a mosquito?

There are some pretty good guides.

Pay peanuts you get monkeys is the one that applies best here.

The secrets are written everywhere. Cozy Frog is just one place to find lots of advice. Loads of articles on how to push traffic, and get the most out of it. That's why there are 1,000s of people pushing it around in adult.

Here's a rule that applies most of the time.

The easier traffic is to get, the harder it is to get the surfers to buy.

Unless you have one of the elite sites with great content and a good tour. Then affiliates are falling over themselves to send traffic. That's how they make money.

If you look closely at the signatures, you'll find they are only affiliates trying to earn a crust by getting other affiliates to sign up off their link. That's assuming they have a signature. Or anything to put into it.

:
How can you say there needs to be a variety of poses and then say more poses should be of a horizontal nature to fill a wide screen format?

The reason some shoot portrait mode is to eliminate the wasted space you pointed out as being 50% to 70% of the room.

Your points seem to be contradictory.

I'm not a newbie in this industry, I've been running a porn production company for 20 years now, starting in the years that people couldn't even imagine that one day there would be something like the internet. In those 20 years I learned to listen to everybody who has to say something and try to filter out the informaton that might be useful for what I'm doing. I also learned to respect people, even the people that annoy me, or seem to be useless to me. And most important; what I learned from 15 years internet is that you shouldn't say things to people in a forum that you wouldn't say to them if you would meet them face to face either. Nobody ever called me a French faggot in my face because by then they already saw the size of my fists and you wouldn't call Paul a lying cunt if you were standing in front of him either. Now am I Jesus? No way, you should see the nasty stuff I'm writing to people on the Dutch groups of usenet (alt.madcrew is my home). It's easy to get dragged into the negativity, isn't it? I find staying positive and constructive one of the most difficult things in life, especially when I'm tired. But there's always one thing I've stayed away from, and that's pussy group behaviour, jump on one individual with a big group, and that's coward crap.

Even in the adult industry and even on a board called "Go fuck yourself" we should try to be PROFESSIONAL. The things people write about each other in here have nothing to do with professionalism but everything with amateurism. And again, I know it's hard. I can do my share of name calling on forums and even in private mail as well, but am far of proud of it.

I agree (again) that I know nothing about affiliation. I never used affiliation much, I mainly rely on Google AdWords (working great for me) and SEO (paying specialists in India for that, works great as well). I want to jump into affiliation soon though because there's money to be made. As for traffic, I know all about it from a self selling producer point of view, but not from an affiliate point of view. But like I wrote before, I want to learn. I came to this board to sort out my little problem with a payment processor and it's great to see that there is so much else to learn in here.

I wouldn't think that there's a lot of dummies hanging out here but I really get the impression that there's a lot of folks hanging out here who are making maybe $500 a month or less and consider themselves part of "the industry", either accepting this pathetic income or not believing they can do any better than this. Then if they're spending all day arguing with someone they don't agree with or don't like, I wonder why they don't get their ass moving and stop with the negativity and start working on their sites again. Porn Muslim is right when he claims that there are still plenty of sites doing well despites the tubes and the Russian cunts and I think what Paul is trying to say is that if you want, and if you work hard enough for it, you can still make good money in this web porn industry.

So when you don't see me posting in here anymore, you know why that is: I got back to work, trying to increase my sales a little again. I'm definitely not going to stick around in this arguing about nothing crap for a long time!
Yes, I'd call paul a lying cunt all day long to his face, if I could ever be bothered to spend a few seconds with him.

Agree with the rest of your post, just bear in mind paul is one of the ones making 500 a month from online porn - probably less, in fact. It's a shame you've come to the conclusions of 'pussy group behaviour' and 'coward crap' without being aware of the facts, but hey ho, whatever

sounds like he is holland's answer to pm. no wonder they get along so well.

http://www.velocityreviews.com/forum...the-world.html

This guy, who is posting under the aliases of Euker Voorn and Jean-Kloot, is
suffering from a severe "borderline" disorder. That's why he escaped his
native Holland , cause he refused therapy and medication and is now living a
very seclusive and lonely live in France, with only his 20 cats as
companions. His livelyhood he makes from a small porn-business, only using
slutty eastern european models of a riper age. So this guy "jean-kloot" is
really a sick person with an ever sicker mind and should be ignored at all
costs to not give him the attention he so desperately needs, there in his
run down farmhouse in (very) rural France.

The same content, different tour/members area will convert differently like that. It's called split testing.

It has adapted... I can see many vast differences in porn from the mid 90's to today, and even more from the 80's to today, just in the actual content. I dang sure do not sell the same porn today as I did 10-15 years ago... it's vastly better today. Or like above, another form of content adaption is every unique twist, quality level, niche, styles, etc... "variety" is a form of adaption.

Where did I say disadvantage? I simply told you what the facts are, free internet porn is one micro bubble of porn income/traffic to tap into. You're focused on "it" and wondering why your ratios tanked or sales are tough, when the Internet has so many other traffic sources that produce sales, ie: bring your ratios back down.

No, I'm reading your posts dead on.... the 1:1 was me mocking you.

10k members is 300k a month, many sites make 300k a month - but that size isn't needed to have some fun. You really only need about 20 sales a day, 15-20k a month for a site, to really start doing more updates, new features, live stuff, etc... however, it's all comes down to what the surfer expects. If you sell them 5 videos, that's what they expect. If you sell them daily updates, that's what they expect. If you produce hq content, your surfers expect it, if it's amateur shot gf stuff, that's what they expect....

It's that simple, adaption is providing "them" with "exactly" what they want, when they want it and how they want it. Not changing what they're getting - what they purchased, not making it different... which means you're now attracting a different group of people and your leaving out those that expect to get exactly what was sold to them.

So split test the site. A month with and a month withiut, or 2 sites if you want to be picky.

True but it limits the site.

It hasn't. Fashion has changed, but unless girls have new holes to fill it's still basically the same. Give specific examples and samples.

Why are you talking traffic? This is about surfers hitting the site. I thought you were talking different modes of porn delivery. Goes without saying different people use different methods to send traffic.

You really only need about 20 sales a day, 15-20k a month for a site, to really start doing more updates, new features, live stuff, etc... however, it's all comes down to what the surfer expects. If you sell them 5 videos, that's what they expect. If you sell them daily updates, that's what they expect. If you produce hq content, your surfers expect it, if it's amateur shot gf stuff, that's what they expect....
So let the big boys talk about it and the Ma &Pa operations can dream.

It's that simple, adaption is providing "them" with "exactly" what they want, when they want it and how they want it. Not changing what they're getting - what they purchased, not making it different... which means you're now attracting a different group of people and your leaving out those that expect to get exactly what was sold to them.
Adaptation is sticking to what you're doing.

This isn't changing anything, it's adding to. I think that last pert showed your thinking. Keep adapting without changing or adding.

Back to ignore. You contradict yourself so many times in your post. One minute they want the same, the next they all want different, the next you say adapt, then by doing nothing new. Make up your mind.

Your points seem to be contradictory.
You need to go back and read it again.

OK here's a clue.

One camera is for stills, the other for video.

I see a massive difference in your content vs todays content by many others. Quality, sound, niches, themes, music, and even the acting has improved, for sure at the higher end.

Because it relates to conversions you brought up? IE: free porn traffic is one source, one type, a micro source of traffic/sales, and if you want more sales, lower ratios, find new sources of traffic.

Hahaha.. yeah, that's what I said, sticking to what I'm doing.

Providing them what they want, means moving to where they are, and providing it for them.. is it really that hard for you to grasp?


Sure.. put me on ignore, I love to trash talk people that have no idea what I have said to them.

Traffic easy to get? Sure, I can make 1 click in no time, but try to get 1.000.000 unique visitors in short period of time (a week or even one month). That might be kinda difficult.

Agree with the rest of your post, just bear in mind paul is one of the ones making 500 a month from online porn - probably less, in fact. It's a shame you've come to the conclusions of 'pussy group behaviour' and 'coward crap' without being aware of the facts, but hey ho, whatever
I'll keep my eyes open. I still think that even if someone makes $500 a month, you might still learn things from him. Take Paul's condition into consideration for god's sake!

For the rest, all I try to say is, to everybody in this industry... be positive, use your energy for good things, don't be a chat addict. You can argue with someone in a chatroom for 3 hours, or you can setup a new site in 3 hours or finally fix those bugs in your active sites. Do your administration, finally send it that income tax report. Take your mom to the cinema or go shopping for that old disabled guy living next to you. The wole world seems to become so damn negative. Again, if something or someone annoyes you, look the other way, ignore it. You can't change Paul so you'll have to accept that he's always going to be the way he is.

This guy, who is posting under the aliases of Euker Voorn and Jean-Kloot, is
suffering from a severe "borderline" disorder. That's why he escaped his
native Holland , cause he refused therapy and medication and is now living a
very seclusive and lonely live in France, with only his 20 cats as
companions. His livelyhood he makes from a small porn-business, only using
slutty eastern european models of a riper age. So this guy "jean-kloot" is
really a sick person with an ever sicker mind and should be ignored at all
costs to not give him the attention he so desperately needs, there in his
run down farmhouse in (very) rural France.
hahahaha yeah that's about me, and it's all true. The guy who wrote this died about one year later due to alcohol abuse. He litterally dropped down dead on the floor. Come visit me in alt.madcrew, brother yew.

No hard feelings. Things can get misinterpreted easily around here. (smilies for you ) From one cat lover to another

Paul, is it better to have (in general) easier conversions but traffic (generally) harder to get (like years ago) OR tougher conversions but traffic easier to get? There are surely way more places to buy traffic now days.

Imo IF you can find something that sells, it is easier now days to get ahead because traffic is easier to get. It is tougher overall now days for sure but for a few it may be actually easier to get ahead now days.

From an affs point of view of course.

Anyhow just my

Carry on

Hey you're cool and I should have seen that easier. Sometimes we reply a bit too quicky.

I love all animals, but in particular cats, they rule, period.

As for traffic, what everybody seems to forget is that you have different qualities of traffic. It all depends where it comes from. SEO is great, people who look you up because they saw your video a tube is crap traffic because they only come to your site to look for free previews and if they like a preview they go look it up on Google to see if they can get the full movie for free somewhere. It's also crazy how AdBrite never worked for me, and AdWords works great for me.

Ok I owe you a few, to put things back in balance: :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Stay positive and constructive!

So the problem isn't getting traffic. It's getting enough traffic to make a standard wage.

1,000,000 SE hits, forget about it and if you could you're wasting your time in adult.

1,000,000 off traffic guys. Dead easy = Income Very Low

1,000,000 to a tube site. Easy = Income off surfers converting at around 1-5,000 low, around $6,000 a month assuming you get $30 a sign up. If the sponsor provides everything it's nearly all profit and making $72,000 from the spare room as a one man band isn't to be laughed at. Start spending money to get traffic, hosting, programs it's still not bad. but please. It's not big bucks.

So getting traffic, masses of it isn't hard. Earning a living off it that's getting harder. Because sign ups are king and retention Emperor.

Do you now see my point? We've billions of surfers, well a lot. Getting them to free porn isn't that hard, getting enough to get one to buy is the problem. We've tackled this problem the same way for 12-15 years and look where we are today?
It's time to look for a new solution, not keep beating our heads against the wall with the old one.

I had some great meeting and discussions with a couple of guys at the Prague show and will post some thoughts tomorrow.

Is there something we could do to turn 1-5,000 to 1-500 in actual surfers, not banner clicks? Yes deliver a product hat's really going to make them want to see more. Vjo has the right thinking.

Quote:
Imo IF you can find something that sells, it is easier now days to get ahead because traffic is easier to get. It is tougher overall now days for sure but for a few it may be actually easier to get ahead now days.
Yes if you can find something mainstream that really sells, can't be cloned easily and won't break the bank to create it. Then you're on the road to $$$$$$$$$$$$.

As a sponsor yes, as an affiliate the problem is soon everyone and their brother will be promoting it. Still it will get good sales.

The problem toady, we discussed at the show, was today very very few have something that really sells well. Who was it who said dozens of really good sites? Even 100 would make it a minority of paysites.

But I understand affiliates feeling of impotence. There's little they can do but keep adding more traffic. They are merely feeding off what sponsors give them. Or could they?

Absolutely none. Because we had bigger fish to fry. It's still up there what 6-7 years after we launched it. Lot's never lasted that long. The content was as you know all saturated content store stuff which we sold very well to lots of other sites. That was after selling it to magazines and DVD companies.

We did the usual free content and FHGs, Girl of the Day and even mini sites of our promo stuff.

As you must of missed my previous answers to this same question, or very similar. Maybe I'll tell you again in big and bold.

THE PAYSITES ARE JUST ONE INCOME FLOW. AND NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO US.

We saw too many fail. Watched people like Jel with his site. It's obviously a low priority to him and even with all his skills driving traffic, gets lower rating than our FHGs do.

Now did you get that?

You don't have the credentials or the experience to teach anything about traffic to even a newbie. You can't even figure out the basics of traffic conversion, anyone can see that reading your posts..........but the kicker is I've seen you in action and you failed.

Your paysite isn't your main revenue stream? No shit.

I've been watching you bullshit for five years or so. Bottom line, you want to talk shit about making money online with porn or converting traffic........come back when you've done something. Paying the hosting on a POS paysite that doesn't make money doesn't qualify. Accomplish something or shut the fuck up.

You want to talk about cameras or shooting content, I'll listen. You've actually done that.

Thank you for the praise.

I'm sure with my knowledge of creating a product that sells, making a site that's sticky and knowing how to market porn beside throwing out 1,000s of samples the same as everyone else has we could of made a good job of it. I look around and see the level of people who did and realise that maybe giving up an income many in the paysite game never got near was just a cozy choice.

But it's a tough choice. Up to our eyes in finding new girls, to shoot for a day and turn over $6,000 from 2-3 sets. In favor of shooting something that really would of set us apart from the rest of the pack and wouldn't of sold to traditional markets.

The decision we faced in 2000 was simple. Put up another teeny site that had little to offer above what 100s of others had to offer, except better shot content wasn't going to really cut it. You have to consider we were talking direct with the owners of some of these sites and when it came to buying content, they weren't talking big like they talk to affiliates. It was always the same, "Can't afford that."

After setting up, running and marketing the site, the budget for content was $300 a solo girl scene. Talk to them about shooting 200 in a year, under a contract, and they ran for the hills. Many of the people you think were big, could only afford to buy 30-50 sets at a time.

Were we going to switch from shooting magazine sets that sold for $1,000s over and over again, to a market that swallowed up everything or nearly everything we shot, which we still owned and still had sales online, to start a paysite that from our POV wasn't going to be as good a prospect?

If you have even been to the Vegas AVN show, that's the DVD one no online one, or Berlin Venus show. Then compare them the the Vegas Internext or Amsterdam show you would understand our dilemma.

Same goes for magazines. Visiting PRO, Galaxy, David Sullivan, Score, Crescent, Hustler, Swank and others offices and them knowing that some of the guys you praise are running from a tinny office or from even their homes. You think twice.

Online porn markets and markets to affiliates a lot more than to customers. It spends a small fortune marketing and paying affiliates and a tiny section to the real people who bring in the money. Customers.

And look where it got us. How many sites retain on average 6 months? That for offline porn isn't a big figure. People bought the same magazine or DVD title year after year.

Why did Private, Wicked, Digital Dreams and others spend a lot of money on 1 or 2 titles?

Why doesn't any site pay $100 PPS on a constant basis. Besides the fraud issue?

Think about while I take the dog for his walk.

shade001 you're an idiot. your only claim is being a faceless troll. As for creating traffic, you've never done that in your life. A man holding a sign in a street directing people into a shop isn't creating traffic. He's steering existing traffic. If you knew anything about converting traffic, you would be rich. Your game is holding up a sign for people looking at porn to look at some more porn and you're hoping 1 in a few 100 or few 1,000 will buy something.

So join my idiot list. Some call it an Ignore List, I would never ignore anyone with something worth listening to.

Shade, getting 10 people looking for porn, at a porn sample to click on a banner to go to a site and then 1 in 100 buy something isn't creating or converting anything. It's piling shelves full of something people want in the hope someone will buy.

Shooting a porn picture, that makes that person want more and go to a site with more, is creating traffic and conversions. Your flowery words and design are not making anyone buy. Just look at the porn on the page you put up. From then on it's in the hands of the porn producers to make the viewer into a buyer.

Online porn thinks otherwise. It thinks if you send enough people at something they want, one will eventually buy. Pile the viewers high enough and it looks like it all works. Untill Tubes, made buying unnecessary.

So back the the two questions I posed.

Quote:
Why did Private, Wicked, Digital Dreams and others spend a lot of money on 1 or 2 titles every year?
Added a bit as many don't know how selling works.

To give you a clue it's why every so often some sponsor will give a $100 sign up day or throw a big flash party at a show. It gets a lot of attention.

The big offline porn producers did exactly the same, but not to the shops who sold their goods. It was directed at consumers. They know that a big production raises eyebrows of consumers. The big guys were already in all the shops and if they got consumers to notice the product they had a good chance of buying it. And once a customer bought one months issue, they bought next months and the the months afterwards and often for years. The consumer found a product that hit the right buttons and they stuck to it well. Yes sometime they didn't stick to it and sometimes it was every other month.

Online spends a lot on marketing to affiliates. Banners on all the boards, new tools, $100 a sign up weekend and big parties. Yet the members all this new traffic generates often hits a site that has little to offer and the member leaves in a month or two or three on average. So a single sign up is worth $90 on average. You all know your retention stats and it varies, but don't be an ass and pick holes in stats. You know retention on the vast majority of sites is low.

Why doesn't any site pay $100 PPS on a constant basis. Besides the fraud issue?
Because the average retention on the vast majority of sites is low.

Why?

The content simply isn't good enough, different enough or even special to keep them any longer.

Yes as a troll pointed out a few sites are good enough. Met-Art is just one of a small handful. Think of these great mainstream sites that retain, ask yourself why and then. Think of the last time you saw them blast a banner on all boards, give you $100 sign up weekends, throw a big expensive party at a show or use any of the things others do to get attention.

They spend more on content, they get sign ups, they keep members and they get affiliates praising them on boards.

Would Met-Art be a great site spending $300 on a scene?

I was once at the party of a very big sponsor and chatting to him about content, on a boat at show. He wanted us to shoot for him. His offer was laughable. His thinking was shooters were only worth $500 a day. My thinking was if he spent the money he did trying to impress affiliates, impressing members and surfers, he wouldn't need to throw big parties.

Because after most affiliates see how well a site performs, they soon decide whether or not to keep going with it.

This is real marketing and every time you go out of your office into the real world you see it over and over again. A company has a big marketing campaign to get you to buy one time. Knowing the product is good enough to keep you buying it over and over again. The most they do with the retailers is give them a display or tell them of the promotion to consumers. They don't direct much marketing to the retailers. This obviously applies most to repeat buy products like porn.

And this is why I chuckle at people like Jel.

What ever posts I just need to look at his site, does it compare with either of mine?

www.mixedracelesbos.com or www.paulmarkhamteens.com/tour/ or the members area look like this.

Or his stats look like this?



Or like this?



It's obvious why. he doesn't make enough money to invest in a good design, good content and then make the site worth signing up to. And when anyone does, they don't stay long.

I know what my sites make, the difference in promoting something really exclusive and unique. So I have an idea what a failure his site is.

He dreamsof being able to get a million hits off a SE to his site, not that it would make him rich. Because even with million SE hits they still aren't buying.

So dumb, you have to think he's kidding. But not smart enough to pull off such an elaborate plan to look so dumb all the time... so he you're thinking that he can't be kidding. Then you think back quite a few years and you're thinking "yeah, actually he was always like this but it was just about other shit like politics, it was only after all his business completely tanked did he start babbling about tubes and why porn is a dead business and only he knows how to make money in porn".

He's always saying shit that no sane person can believe and so clearly speaking about things he knows nothing about, so you even though you know better, you still keep thinking "no one is this stupid"... but he's clearly not intelligent enough to pull off such an elaborate plan to consistently look so retarded just to wind people up, so you know that logically, he has to be this stupid... but its a sort of stupid that's just so deep, so profound and so unwavering no matter what facts are presented, that you are still thinking he can't be serious even as you start to realize he actually is.

The guy comes here to this forum to beg for money, admits his wife has to work to help pay the bills, his business is a joke, he lives off the government/pensions, not porn... but lectures non stop about how to make money in porn.

Such an epic mind fuck from the best accidental troll ever. A troll that's so dumb, he doesn't even know he's trolling... he actually thinks he's proving points and making sense. It's a stupid that runs so deep, a stupid that's so pure, that you kinda have to admire it in a way.

Your game is holding up a sign for people looking at porn to look at some more porn and you're hoping 1 in a few 100 or few 1,000 will buy something.
I may be an idiot but I know enough not to lecture people who do for a living what I only talk about, unlike you.

As to me being a faceless troll, sure, I don't use my name or photo here. Why the fuck would I? I'm not an affiliate rep or trying to sell hosting. Some people know me elsewhere, that's enough. This is not a place I would conduct business, anyway. I come here to amuse myself at your expense.

They still spend money. Big payout promos, banners, yes the parties aren't what they used to be and banners are cheaper and many have discovered opening a Tube for themselves is getting sign ups at a better margin.

Think of it in context to the whole post. I'll post something about it tomorrow.

Good seeing you, should of come over, shown you my award and thanked you for your help getting me it.
