One thing you haven't considered is the percentage of new surfers also rises which helps.
Newbies have always been a problem to the effectivness of the adult market.
I'm going to say something that may be a little controversial here, but it's what I think.
In my opinion, adult webmaster boards are the problem. They promote link lists and tgp's as the ultimate source of traffic. Link lists and tgp are also the easiest way to get traffic, so a newbie will see this as an easy way to promote the sponsors.
If you'll notice, many of the owners and mods on adult webmaster boards are link list and tgp owners, so naturally they'll promote the type of traffic that benefits them the most.
Now, I'm not saying that link list and tgp traffic are bad.. in fact many webmasters do very well with it.. but consider all the newbie traffic they attract that the newbie doesn't do well with.. it's a lot. You hear it every day... newbies saying they get thousands of hits with no sales. Those thousands of hits are just from one newbie.. multiply that by thousands of newbies that are in the same situation. That's a lot of free porn that's not getting paid for.
Well.. I've said my piece.. and I'm sure there will be debate on this opinion..
so... what do you all think?
