That is something that has puzzled me for some time. But at the moment, even more so, since the $ is so far round the U bend that US money is not really worth having outside the America at the moment. I live in England and speak English, which is almost the same language that they speak in the USA, so pushing sites to Americans is easier for me. But at the moment I spend very little time pushing American websites, I live mostly on European sales in £UK and Euros. Used to be that 90% of my earnings came from American porn, but at the moment my $ sales per week are rarely enough to even get very drunk on (and most of those come from eBay-USA, not porn sites). So it puzzles the hell out of me why non English speaking people beat themselves up to struggle with a foreign language when their own language sites should make more money for them.
