Just decided to let 4 mainstream domains expire that are all at least 8 years old.

That says something.

Sales in other areas are way down.

i had to change things up. getting ready for holiday orders 90% is already sold(offline biz). i found sum good stuff just fuking around on google. people that don't post here. i also added some niches to my mix

gnawledge 10-19-2016 01:32 PM

I'm beginning to think it's just a cam world now. I don't have the resources to buy thousands of dollars in content and spend the time with an industry's leading CMS because of a whirlwind of responsibilities that bark up my tree when I try to study it. That's with member sites.

Cams seem good as gold. It's just a lot of work making sure everything is ok hourly.

It is.

Google SERPS are packed with free porn tubes, giving away full length HD movies and upselling cams.

How can you sell something that is already free?

cybermike 10-19-2016 03:31 PM

Been a rough couple of weeks

charlie g 10-19-2016 05:01 PM

Summer has been tough going but September has been good and October ok. Let's hope after the election people feel better about spending.

Sales are shitty because of this insane Election.

CHMOD 10-20-2016 05:30 AM

I heard through the grapevine that visa/mastercard changed their chargeback rules. They're stricter. Strangely, the drop of signups matches the date where these new rules were officially applied by processors.

It is not been scientiffically proven and no processors are confirming it, I however have the feeling that the scrub level reaches the roof at this moment.

How do you generate traffic?

What programs do you promote? What niches?

Its time to evolve to something else gentleman's.... Since Pamela Anderson came out and said that porn are for losers, my sales drop significantly... Ive made good income doing this but I feel like I need to find something else to do or in 5 months i will be sleeping on the streets... I have a 1 year old daughter, Its not the time to procrastinate, I have to take action.... Im also not renewing some adult domains, see you on the other side boys!!!

So it's what's fucking up the sales.

Virtually all the low/middle class webmasters have been pushed out of the biz.

There are hardly any affiliates left, there are hardly any independent webmasters left, porn is being given away for free in hopes of selling a cam membership.

Correct. And it's a one way street. Adapt or die?

You definitely hit that nail on the head. I have wasted time and money on content and CMS's. I push other's stuff to just brainwash people into cams. Sad, but ads aren't doing well etc. I guess you gotta be a big man to get sales.

If Romney or Trump were President right now, how would the economy be any different? How was the economy under the last Republican President?

Again, so what? This has been the scenario for YEARS now and some of us (some) still make sales. So it does not explain why, all of a sudden, THIS year, things have dried up to record lows.

Except one thing: the Presidential Election. If sales still suck cock come mid-December then we can panic.

If sales are steadily declining then every month would see record lows so yes, that would explain it.

Porn is free.

It's being used as a loss-leader for cams/toys etc.

Possibly, but I doubt it. Usually when people get stressed they tune out, not tune in.

This is true. It's pointless at this time to have an eu mid. At 1% cb thresholds and all the bs of getting setup in a foreign country (if your purpose was to get a mid and not hide money) it's pointless. I can't push much of anything through netbilling these days. The us mids convert much better than the eu ones. I'm sure they are going through a conservative periord to see how they can handle the 1%. I'm sure they will open up more soon. Until then it's cheaper to run 3rd party.

Different facets of generations are coming of age. The 18-24 yo's have litterally grown up with the internet as we know it now. Not spanking to a 3 second mpeg that took a day to download. I'd conjecture cams are leveling off too and tubes aren't growing monetarily straight up on the chart anymore. Overall, everything just seems meh these days. Nothing is worth stroking your cock to. I only stoke to my own stuff and admittedly that's less than it was. I haven't seen anything from anyone that is good. There is just content less miserable than other content.

Look out for other options
 
I am sorry to say, but adult stream is the only lucrative stream left for webmaster nowadays. Rest of IT has too much competition, on top of that there is automation threat.

In case, you are not making money, then you need to look at your business model, it would be better to discuss it on this forum, at least you will get some idea.
