Was this a really bad month? - GoFuckYourself.com

Johan · 02-28-2001, 01:44 AM

Or is it just me? This was the worst in my history as a webmaster. Could really have used some extra days in this month... damn.

Killerelf · 02-28-2001, 02:34 AM

Yes it seemed to be. Click Thru percentages were way down for me. Maybee I was just screwing something up. But It seemed to be not as good as last month or december.

boneprone · 02-28-2001, 02:38 AM

Evolution of internet fileters, and more and more people getting into the adult web bussiness are really diluting the market..
Just wait till summer, and you will really notice. Better buy some canned foods and store em, may be a rough summer.

This has been my best month since getting out of the hospital. (Except for fighting with a sponsor to get reistated)

Next month should be even better.

Bad month for me as well. Not many sign ups.

Wizzo · 02-28-2001, 09:47 AM

It started off very well for me, slowed in the middle, but has picked up in the last few days to make it a decent month especially since it's a few days short...

Sorry to you guys that haven't faired well.

It was bad for me too but February is always bad for me. Two reasons: birthday & Valentine's Day. This year was worse because I got a cursed gfy t-shirt. And don't get me started on winter storms.

Traffic to websites were up & traffic to sponsors were okay. As for signups, forget it. It's been so long since I got a signup that I forgot what it looks like.

I went pretty much the end of January and most of this month with dick all in sign-ups. Little three day trials that cancelled two hours later. It really hurt my feelings cause I put alot of effort into making those galleries and submitting them to TGP's. What about me? Don't they care? Don't they see that I can't live of off rebills alone?

Anyways this last week and a bit things are picking up a little with some coversions and acutal bonifide sales. It can only get better (is what I tells myself).

Feb was great for me. One thing I learned a long time ago (the hard way of course) was that you have to diversify. Rely on any one source of income (or traffic) and you're putting all your eggs in one basket. Get those hits coming in any way you can. From TGPs, free sites, CJs, SEs...

The more you diversify the less you have to worry about the dips in productivity when they come along.

I DO hear ya about being able to use more days in this month. I kinda feel like I was robbed outta 2 days.

Dilution is something I've believed in for a while too. That's why you've got to work your ass off NOW and stop spending 2, 3 hours playing those games or surfing napster and make that coin while you can.

If I could squeek a few more hours out of the day I'd be working on a few non adult projects just to completely round things out.

MrCockTale · 02-28-2001, 12:48 PM

Has been a great time for me! Best month
ever to be honest, with about 60k of
traffic on each site!! (And some nice cash

)

Very rough month for me. Income is off by a third, but traffic is way up. Last weekend was good. Need more of those.

Warphead · 02-28-2001, 02:44 PM

I'm doin' ok, but January was alot better.

tabasco · 03-29-2008, 03:43 AM

Yah tube sites fucking shit up

GoNe · 03-29-2008, 04:50 AM

Been a good/normal month for me but it has been a bad month for the dollar

nico-t · 03-29-2008, 05:54 AM

income down this month for me to
but i dont measure by stats of sponsors anymore, i measure by actual income by epass and checks. So that would probably make february bad ill have to look into it.

Michaelious · 03-29-2008, 05:56 AM

Could be cos spring is coming and people are getting laid rather than masterbating lol

For 15 years the porn industry has concentrated mostly on marketing the product. The biggest improvement in the product has been HD and the size, speed of the delivery and quality of the image. We have ignored the actual product we sell and allowed it to slip.

It's been about titles on shelves and shelves, number of sites and traffic.

Even the best porn producers have put more into marketing than production. Some great pornographers are producing scenes in great quality and quantities. Yet the scene lacks something.

The result is a product the customer is less willing to buy than he has ever been. What ever the form of delivery, DVD, Internet, cable or magazines.

And yet we still obsess ourselves with marketing. The time has come to think about what the customers want and less about how to get more people who are less willing to part with cash.

There are a few exceptions who stand out, sadly too few.

Paul Markham · 03-29-2008, 06:21 AM

On the paysite we've had our best month for well over a year. Traffic was down a bit conversions up. Mostly from our own traffic via some threads in the forum.

But we do have content no one else has, unique more than exclusive.
