I had thought the downturn in income from the adult website business was something a lot of webmasters were experiencing, not just me. I guess that's not the case. That's depressing.

Ann we just aren't going to see eye to eye on this, cause you have such different values from me and that's becoming increasingly clear. I don't know what bills you pay that run you $4000 a mo, and it's not my biz, but I know personally that between my home, my utilities, and vehicles alone, if I was paying $100 a mo, or $10,000 a mo, and my child (19 yrs or at any age) was getting our meals out of a dumpster, I would CHANGE my bill situation....be it move, be it trade cars, be it get a part time job, or two, or three. There are TRULY destitute people, that have no home, no money and no way to get ahead, that very well may live or die based on finding the food that the restaurants throw away in the evenings, and you sit on your ass at home surfing for dollars....while your daughter runs down and collects dinner in the evenings! That to me is beyond pathetic!

I suppose I am just appauled, disgusted, stunned (not really sure what word to use at this point) that a parent who is making even $4000 a month would have no shame in saying that she is eating out of a dumpster, and her child "dumpster dives" to do so.

If I heard about you through someone else, and they told me of some poor destitute lady, who is homeless, and is trying to feed herself and her family with no means of doing so, my heart would break for you. Based on the details you have given of your situation, rather than my heart breaking, my stomach is churning and I could just puke!

I'm so confused! Eating out of dumpsters when you have an income of $4,000 a month?

I bought a big house back in 2000 when my income was $7000/month and rising and the future looked bright. It's expensive to live in, big mortgage, big utility bills. My other big expense is the $1000/month I spend advertising my websites, apparently at all the wrong places. It was only in the past few months that my income from the websites dropped to the point where it just covers my bills with nothing left over for food. I intend to put the house on the market next Spring but, until it sells, I'm stuck with the big monthly bills.

It was never my intention to make anyone feel sorry for me. I don't feel sorry for me. I could be taking my profits from the "get paid to surf" program now and buying food with them. That's just not my priority, I want to pay off my second mortgage first to drop my monthly expenses by $700, precisely because I don't know how long the surfing program will last.

If any of you really wants to help me out, tell me where you get the best bang for your advertising buck in terms of traffic that buys. I'd love to get my sales back up where they were four years ago. I just can't seem to do it.
