Is the industry still good to go with?

People will always want porn, but from my little time in this business (only half a year by now), I am not so sure it's that much of a money maker. The way I see it, the market is being flooded by free porn, and surfers are paying less and less for it. I am not giving up on making money in this, but comparing effective CPM in porn to what I have in mainstream sites, and considering that serving pageviews in mainstream is a whole lot cheaper (bandwidth issues), then my advice for newbies would be to go for mainstream first. More money there, so it seems to me at least.

I will still be doing both, simply because I am already making nice money from mainstream sites and want to balance it with another field (not to be too dependent on adsense more than anything). But it's definitely is no jackpot.
