I predict lots of changes in adult internet for 2009
 

Next year is going to be a real ride, I can already tell.

Gearing up already! Change is good, and keeping up is exciting.

Are you thinking of ways to improve your business next year?

I am with you on this. The thing with lots of new changes means there are opportunities.

Such truth.

I have been watching this board for years now, and the patterns are like black and white.

I am loving it. :)

we will see a huge downfall in cc processing. Phonebilling will make a big return. Mark my words.

yeah the cc processing thing scares me...

steering clear of reckless billing programs right now already, and its not an easy task.

Looks like we'll get some interesting threads in 2009

I hope it is as swift and painless as possible.

this kind of worries me :Oh crap

The herd will continue to be trimmed.
On a positive note; it means more food for the strong. :2 cents:

I am sure that there will be changes in the future but we just need to work with those changes and turn them around into benefiting ourselves. One thing is for sure though, people will always want their porn so no matter how many changes may come around, porn will always exist and as long as it exists, there will be buyers.

It seems like a lot of companies are either gearing up, or burning shit to the ground right now.

trimming the herd is good, very good.

Yes. At the moment updating one of my other companies military data mining systems to work with my brand new ads system by using data mining techniques and following the surfer through all our sites (adult and non adult) populating our database with any data he leaves on any of our sites.

It has to get a bit downgraded and ported to work on low cost hardware because the military one works on about 7 million euros worth of hardware... so there is quite lots of work to do there... but the first website usable alpha will be ready before 15th December :)

The system is designed to gather all the information over time from a given surfer except credit card info because Visa does not allow that. plete browsing history on our network over the last few years, what kind of content he has viewed, browsing habits, what kind of banners did he click, if he joined the paysite, did he use different mails to join different paysites, when he joined the paysite what did he look (content preferences), at what times does he browse porn usually, etc...

Being the parent a military system you can get the idea about the tactical power of such a thing whatever the market it is used.
If I say that it's designed to be your big brother it will be not away from the truth :)

Stay tuned

Yes We Can!

changes & threats make you more aware & creative and result in better solutions

yeah... This year was the year of the tubes. Next year will hopefully be better!

Well aren't you just the next AlienQ

:1orglaugh

well said.

I've been focusing more on mainstream the past 3-4 years already. the money just hasn't been the same for years now.

:1orglaugh

You must be psychic. At least you have a built in Plan B.

I could probably do C D E F and G, I have so many plans. :1orglaugh

Hopefully good changes and not bad changes. The government is always looking for a way to control us and what we do.

we shall see,historically for us. Feb has been much slower. This year I expect it to be beyond dreadful. I hope Im wrong.

It's not the government that people need to worry about.

hoping for great biz for 2007

2009 and beyond

I ain't thinking of ways to improve my biz... I am doing it yo!.....fuck all that "thinking shit" .... I remember the saying of one of the managers at the Real estate company I used to work at .. "we don't pay you guys to think, we pay you to act"....

If we in the mainstream gave away as much shit as the adult world does we all would be broke, kinda reminds me of the mass majority that work in adult. Kinda funny huh? Maybe more tubes with 20-30 minute scenes and you will need about 10,000 scenes, that oughta skyrocket the joins back to 1998 levles :1orglaugh

Doesn't every year bring lots of changes?

True... changes and challenges.

God I hope so!!
