Are Torrents Killing The Business?

[ArtWilliams]

As always, I will preface my post with "what the hell do I know" but I do have an observation on which I would like some feedback.

My blog gets most of its 400-500 unique visitors a day from Google. I've been hoping for more success from the relatively high placings I've received for certain MILF pornstar performers and niche site names. This is not so. From the few sales I've made, fifty percent are from lessor known single woman sites.

Here is the rub, the big name performers and site names where I place in (say the top 25) are always preceded by torrents offering the full stolen version from the paysite I am trying to market. I can't tell you the number of hits I've received for a couple of MILF step-sisters Rhyse and Rhylee Richardson who've just entered the business and who have shot for some of the big name MILF sites. I get A LOT of well ranked google traffic from their exact names or variations. Can I convert them? No. Is it relevant that even if I rank in the top 25 with their names and/or the site name that piratebay, rapidshare or others are always placing above me? I don't know. I can tell you that with the single woman MILF sites, the high torrent rankings seem to be much less of an issue.

What is your experience? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
