Do you think this business is recession resistant?

[plateman]

No and No this biz or any biz is NOT recession resistant...but imo it will get harder yet

months ago I ran accross some credit card stats for americans and it said that a very large % of the population are close to maxed out and can only afford to pay the min. payment every month...

the internet porn biz imo is saturated and most would agree with me, also most who have credit cards dont wanna use them unless it's an emergency, thats what credit cards are supposed to be for...

americans are in debt up to there eyeballs and are trying to pay down there debt, look at how the card companies charge, all kinds of hidden charges to rape the card holders

I talk to other webmasters and the large % of them say the same thing ratios suck and they arnt making the same they made a year ago with even more traffic, even se traffic doesnt buy like it used to

sure there will always be buyers during these hard times, BUT think about all the buyers that quit buying cause they are in trouble and wanna pay down or off there cards, or they went under and are starting over...now add in the surfer who use to buy but now found tube style sites and file sharing sites, and boom you have these shit ratios we have, then you can't forget about the nasty stuff that turned buyers away either, installs, toolbars, torjens

my advise for smaller traffic webmasters like most of the free site submitters here is buckle your belt tighter and lookup with a trustable revshare sponsor who retains...and find niches that the richer surfers buy

IMO ratios overall arn't gonna get any better, just play your cards right and if it gets really bad atleast you won't go down the tubes
