Why content is KING and EMPEROR.

[Paul Markham]

Put up a blank page and leave it alone and you'le get nothing. Put a link to it it (content) on a board and you will get traffic. The key to selling anything has never been traffic, it has always been the product.

Online sites need traffic and it should never be ignored.

Newsgroups were to my knowledge the best place to get traffic in the early day. The traffic came constantly because it had content. Put up content with a domain in the image and you got some traffic.

Link lists, were pages of content in the form of links.

TGPs were a mass of galleries with content. Surfers came to see the content.

Blogs require content to get traffic, SEO.

Tubes require content.

Forums like Freeones require content to get traffic.

Today most of you will be loading more content to get more traffic. The more content you have the more traffic you will get. The better the content on a site the more traffic will come, stay and return. And here is why content is king. The higher a site can elevate it's content the more and better traffic it will get. The most stimulating, attractive or in demand the content is the more it controls the traffic. Simple examples are "Free Porn" will get more traffic than "Paid Porn. Dean Captures content will get more traffic than DVTimes content.

This is the prime tool to successful traffic generation and selling. If anyone can elevate their content to a level above the rest, they will get more traffic and more sales. Pornhub type sites have massive traffic because they have free content and as long as they do, people will go there.

Remove the free content people will go somewhere else.

A product that wants to sell successfully, needs to attract and stimulate more people into buying from it. The only way to do that in an unrestricted market is to elevate your product above the rest. Then work on the traffic, it will come and if it's good enough it will stay and then the site owner can use the traffic.

Maybe sell the traffic to a site with content, maybe because you have content sell them some.

And lastly. Why is the online porn industry shrinking? You can argue it isn't elsewhere.

Yes FREE CONTENT.

Traffic should never be ignored. Think what's the toughest. To shot like Dean or to get a guy to look at it?

The problem has arisen because of all the bottom feeders trying to scrape a living.

There are maybe 250 million regular porn surfers. So how hard is it to get some of them to your site?

Is selling to some of them harder than getting them?

So in the scale of importance, selling is over traffic. Let's start a list.

What's needed to sell a membership? A site with great content, that appeals.

In adult we have 3 main platforms for sales. Recorded porn, live and dating. Now do the surfers buy more from a site with a better product than a lees attractive product?

Do customers stay buying in the site, because they are there or because the members area product makes them want to stay?

Back to traffic generation.

Why does Pornhub get more traffic than a TGP?

Seems traffic is just a small part of online porn making money.


Tons of content.
Better members area.
Better product.
A site with content, that appeals.
Selling something to the traffic.
Traffic.

Now traffic jockeys will tell you black is white, as they send more content to their site or other peoples. Go figure!!!

OK so you can paste and copy.

You don't get it.
I don't get it.
Same old blah blah
Broken record.
