Everyone seems to agree that there is too much free porn. None-the-less those webmasters who got in early have a distinct advantage. They have market share [i.e. traffic = sales]. The newbies want it.

Economically speaking we have a mature market here -- at least in the English language porn world. Therefore sellers/distributors must do one of two things -- 1. Use financial resources go after the market share of others. 2. Innovate thereby creating new needs or fulfilling new needs (not already identified to date).

The problem with the 1. is that other porn sellers/distributors will use their financial resources to defend their market. Profits will be reduced until producers achieve just a minimum return on capital. The problem with 2. is it take research and imagination to come up with something new that the public wants or you can convince them that they want.

In layman's terms, doing the same shit doesn't cut it because there are a million people doing the same thing [unless you have deep pockets]. So the moral of the story is give the surfer something new and different that they can't get elsewhere or go get a job somewhere else.

My two cents.

Is it really a mature market? I was under the impression the market was still growing...it has changed for sure, but I would think there are more people viewing porn now than say 10 years ago, and I would think the market would expand as new technologies become available.

IMHO, most English speaking people with credit cards -- the people I am interested in -- already have a PC and Internet access. You might get me to cede your point with respect to broadband. That would decrease the market for pics and increase it for movies but we are already seeing that happen. Then again I made a total of 8 sales last month so what the hell do I know?

A woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!

“Of the 64% online Europeans owning a credit card,
more than half will not use their credit card to buy online!”

How can anyone afford ignoring 200 million European customers?

I never said I wouldn't take their paper Euros. They can send them to me in a plan brown envelope. I have a P.O. for that.

Interesting, did you get that info from an article? I'm curious to read more about. Would you mind sharing the source of that information?

And to the original topic, I agree:

1. Free porn

2. Surfers don't trust to put in credit card information to join pornsites.

3. Competition among webmasters
