I think it has to do more with the illegal tubes than the state of the economy. Sure, credit cards have been tightened up but I think that is a secondary factor. Porn purchases are impulsive and a surfer, if the moment strikes him, will pay.

I used to have a top ten ranking for "thick MILFs" a couple of years ago but it has long since been taken by the tubes. Type a keyword combination into Google and what do you get? Ten first page links to illegal tubes. Once the surfer gets hook on to those why should they by a membership to a paysite? Perhaps if it is a micro-niche not covered by the tubes they'll pay, otherwise, it's free full length porn for everybody! In my most recent re-incarnation as a porn web master, I've tried to concentrate on CC bill, single girl (i.e. swinger) sites but that too is proving a challenge. Finding keywords combinations even for that niche is becoming more difficult every day.
