I count the number of people viewing the site, or the gallery. Others ignore that number and only count the number going to the site. Both are pretty dismal. IMO.

In "your day" what did you count, if anything but the cash? I know stats weren't as advanced back then but still, hits to view a picture gal were relatively high and the clickthru rate to the paysite was what, 1 in a few hundred? I'm talking now *before* vids hit the scene....
Then TGPs came along, and everyone was calling chicken little.... for just cause. For everyone jacking off for free to a few pics, there came an explosion off tgps showing what they wanted for free. What was the name of that Aussie guy who did the great TGP script? I forget... anyway, hosted TGPs took care off that. And if not...
Then MGPs came along and put told to the TGPs and... bandwidth was pretty expensive at the time (2004'ish?), so not an explosion in MGPs, but it made profit for those that adapted to it.
Et alors, today, it's the tube's spotlight.....
lather, rinse, repeat.
What pimproll has done is the nail in the coffin for home-hosted tubes and the dawn of the new era.
That's how I see it. Whether or not you do, I don't really care.
You seem to be on a one-man-soapbox crusade to rid the internet of non-payed-for porn. It won't happen bud!!! Not even if all the heads of state stood up behind you.
In any case, carry on ranting, as it is quite amusing
