When I started it was easier, some say no, but they are full of shit. I remember making avs sites and every one I created, made money, every one. Was just a matter of making enough. I remember getting search engine traffic without even trying.
As already mentioned, I think the biggest problem is the competition. Seems every body and their brother is trying to sling porn, not to mention the bathroom gangs. And now with free blog hosting and blog automation, rss, ect, people are cranking out massive scale crap, crap thats clogging up everything including the search engines. And with all these people, more free porn.
The sponsors don't help because they give so much to the webmasters, which is another problem, as the content is all marked with sponsors url's, easy for the surfer to bypass the webmaster. Zango and the likes stealing sales.
Too much crap.
Like bob said, they will just blame every one else.
To me, there is no other industry online that gives away so much content.
How to adapt? In my opinion, be different and interesting, even unusual. It's very possible without needing to give away the cow. Most every one is doing the same thing (myself included). Doesn't work like it use to.
