Can we save Flirt4Free?

I admire your good intentions, but I don't feel sliding conversion rates are unique to VideoSecrets. I don't pretend to be an expert on adult marketing, but I've been around the business for awhile... almost 9 years. I'm working harder, and investing more time, but earning less for my efforts. I believe the "free porn" issue is the driving force behind this challenge.

Thousands upon thousands of free hosted galleries, free sites, free trials and so many other offerings with the word "free" attached... plus all the "tube" sites popping-up... is catching up with this industry, IMHO. It's a marketing strategy that's pretty much backfired... as adult webmasters, we've done a good job of convincing surfers that they really don't need to buy porn... and assume whatever risks they associate with buying porn... to enjoy and get out of it, whatever it is they want.

Surf around, and see if you come across anything you just have to buy... it's easier and more impulsive to just to click on a link and move on to the next page or site to see what's there. Bottomline, there's just too much of everything.
