The sponsors that can break down the info have pointed to galleries linked only by thumbs (with no description). As a test, I am now starting to add in some foreign language galleries, but only if the underlying paysite has an English language version. Yes, they will be labeled under the thumbs.

Still, kind of strange for me to be making more sales in Euros than Dollars.

Sales for me have been slowly declining for some years now. Now the only thing that seems to be selling is Foxy's stuff and a tiny bit of gay. I'm making way more doing my other stuff, AirBnB, Uber, mainstream design jobs, plus marketing A/C services. I can get good hosting for my nonadult stuff for under $120 a year vs $250 a month for a server to host galleries and whatnot. At some point I have to ask myself is the return on hosting worth hours put in doing it.

I do really miss the days of working a few hours a day and pulling in six figures. Now I'm working my ass of to make half decent money.

If you ditch posting galleries you can get good adult hosting for a lot less than that. So why not just do the bits of adult that still make money (Foxy's stuff and a tiny bit of gay), move to cheaper hosting, and dump the loss leaders?

Foxy's stuff and gay stuff needs galleries posted in order to make sales.

Today I got Goddady business hosting for my mainstream stuff. It's all in Wordpress and Wordpress has been running painfully slow over on colo. Over the next few weeks moving all my mainstream stuff over there. Still not sure what I'll end up doing with my adult stuff. If I stop posting galleries and free sites I'm guessing my traffic will slowly die down to very little.

I finally left Mojo/Colo about two months ago. They messed up some of my stuff when they transferred it off of Colo's servers, and I never could quite get past that. Chris had had me on a wonderfully inexpensive plan, but, as you now, Colo was never the same after he sold it. I have everything on a VPS now. Obviously, I don't require the amount of resources you do. Foxy must have a ton of content after all these years.

It's around 800 gigs these days and she is still doing updates.
