Sadly that part is still too fucking true. Look at all the free sites/galleries/blogs/etc that just give away porn without really trying to sell. Sure they got sponsor ads/banners tacked on, but one in a hundred actually trys to sell properly. The first thing any WM should do is take a course in advertising, BEFORE he even thinks about designing his first site. But 99% either think they know enough (by that magic process of the knowledge you need entering into your body from Fairyland) or they think that their sponsors will give them the magic ads that sell. Then they get angry and post on the various boards about how bad this business is, how tube sites are making it impossible, that traffic is no good, or whatever excuse they personally use to convince themselves that it is not their own fucking fault, and that they absolutely, positively, definitely, do not need to take a serious course in advertising and salesmanship!
Sorry, am I ranting? I must be, I just noticed that I was foaming at the mouth.
