I'm going to the backseat of my car with the woman I love, and I won't be back for TEN MINUTES

Fair enough I'm sure we can all take your word for it and I'm also sure we can mostly agree that your stats are probably a fairly decent barometer for the industry.

I'm curious to know, are your sales down all across the board or are you noticing any trends? Personally, I've seen my conversions go up for the most part but I'm dealing almost strictly in micro niches. As Trixie points out, you can get porn for free online. So maybe that's why I'm not seeing much of a difference since the micro niches are much more difficult to find.

Having said that, I do have some mainstream sites and my conversions on have always been pathetic. I was beginning to think that I just don't have the knack to convert mainstream sites but looking back on it now I'm starting to think that the problem is that I'm still taking a micro-niche approach to my mainstream sites. I tend to focus on quality and ignore the price completely. Looks like it's time for me to give up on the connoisseurs and start selling to the bargain bin shoppers.
