    It's because of all the free porn.

    Speaking from a consumer prospective.

    This is true to a large degree but where HD is concerned there is a solid niche market that does enjoy it. The problem is that quality of the average site is not much different from what you can get on the Tubes. This is because most sites are just selling DVD rips which tubes now buy also to give away free. Some people want the quality but most HD sites are all the same big names rehashing the same scenes have done for years before HD came along.

    I don't like those used and abused Pornstars with gaping assholes big enough to stick my head inside. Considering that's mostly the type of shit being shot on HD there is no chance in hell im going to pay for it and many surfers are in the same boat. The old overused porn mold needs to be thrown away and quality content producers need to start sculpting out fresh ideas with some creativity behind it.

    Another thing is that shooting very high quality content for new photogs wanting to break in and bring more creativity to the table is still pretty expensive. I was looking at new lenses the other day thinking it might be time to buy more gear. Come to find out the price of Canon gear has actually increased not by much but it has slightly. My guess would have to be that unlike chip dies shrinking in circuitry and electronics becoming more affordable lenses don't shrink and less sales translate to higher glass production costs.

    This year is going to be one of many coming transitions that decide who will remain and still be making money from adult in the future.

    Ive noticed a bit of a trend lately that full price joins sell better then trials. I suppose its chain reaction from people being afraid of getting royally fucked. Cant say I blame them.

    I don't promote many programs that offer trials, but I have noticed a trend over the last 6 to 8 months that the percentage of sales for non-recurring memberships, which are usually slightly higher priced or multi-month, has been steadily increasing.

    If that was true then no one would have made any money in this biz due to picposts and tgps from years ago.

    Making inane comments just for more signature exposure really isnt a good business practice BTW.

    The summer slowdown was attributed a lot back a few years ago with the reduction of all those new college freshmen that had a years worth of surfing and in some cases no internet as they went back home.

    I do think you see a surge in processing partially because there are new consumers injected into the net that have never had a connection before or have not been unsupervised to watch porn.

    However with the credit crunch Ill venture to guess that the surge this year isnt as big as it has been.

    You also have other summer factors like vacations, kids being at home etc that slow down buys in this business.

    This in mind Ive avoided the summer slowdown in the past by retooling or rebuilding new things that garner more interest. I did not do this last year and now I am sorry but Im fast at work on new things to try and make up some lost ground.

    I was also wondering about the same thing. I'm new to this but my traffic is increasing everyday. I have on average 400 unique visitors a day now but no sale. Compare to last where I only had an average of 150/unique visitors.

    I'm not really worry about sales, traffic is my concern for now. How long would it takes to drive 10,000 visitors a day to blog site and what is the best way to achieve that?
