But I am still going to stand by my opinion that you haven't had a site make more than 10k a month since Bryci. I dont expect you to prove me wrong also. And 2008 or 2009 , doesn't really matter because my point was, it wasn't at all recent. 3 years in this niche is like a 30 percent drop.

And do you know why I know why I know what sites make, ballpark figures? Because its a small niche. There are only so many affiliates in this niche, there are only so many places to push the models, etc

Facts are:

Your traffic numbers for all sites besides bryci's are minimal (public information), if you convert at the same rate as bryci, then that means they are doing worse, the only way your other sites would make as much as bryci is that they convert at double the rate. Which I can say with full confidence, not happening.

Another way to gather information from sites is sites linking in, while alexa isn't a tell all and greatest source of information, it does give you a ballpark.

Take Kendra Rain for example, traffic numbers dont exist, sites linking in, hardly, site was a failure.

Another example, freeones. While you can't say what you convert on freeones, with 1/3rd of the searches, you can gather that youre pulling in less sales than somebody who is top searched.

These things are evidence, which build a case that lead me to my opinion.

Theres also your conversion rate on my 15k/day site, dougs site, bodsforthemods, etc etc

Then theres the fact that youre girlfriend is a model of yours, this same model went from doing softcore to toys recently. You switched from offering no pussy in promo and censorship to absolutely no sensorship and full out toys in promo.

While you can say thats adapting to the times or whatever, I suggest thats trying to increase sales after being dropped, especially given its human nature to not want your girlfriend to show more than she has to. Thats how I see it, while i could be wrong, obviously... these facts give me a good reason to believe so.

Then theres the fact that youre sites all had designs, at the same time you switched your designs that you paid for, to a stock elevatedx design. You chose to go with a default design for a cms. Not often do webmasters switch designs until theyre trying to spark things back up.

"Her skin is rather aged also"

"Yikes, are you trying to rack up points with future models? You never talk shit of a model, regardless of what you think/feel etc. Just my two cents on that anyway. If a model is lazy, fine, call her on it but to discuss her appearance is hitting models where they live, you'll find that comment resonates with other models and not in a good way. "

Dude lol I called out a flaw she has, shes still an attractive girl, if a model of mine has a flaw, i say something about it, im not here to sugarcoat things, if i have a flaw, tell me. I dont care. This is a business, if i were going to worry about pointing out flaws, then i'd be making work very hard on myself while always walking on eggshells for models. Shes not 18 anymore, im sure she knows that. I dont need to kiss ass like some webmasters do with models. I do just fine with being honest. Mentioning flaws of a model on a forum with other producers and webmasters is hardly a big deal.

BTW this was posted on another adult forum by you:

"I knew better here, sorry guys. The only time in my entire work history I was fine with the model owning her domain. Hell, even with Bryci, I own the domain. Kara had me sold she was a hard worker, she had all these stories about Rich not working and not doing this/that/the other. She was fine and seemed like she was going to kick ass, then she pulled a 'cam model' move and well, acted like a cam model.

Cam models are the laziest of all models in my opinion. I am sure there are some exceptions but usually, they're full of excuses. Ah well, live and learn.

Again, sorry for headache."

"Quick note to anyone that plays the "what do others make" game. - Do you honestly think because you're not doing X dollars or your webmaster buddy to the left or right isn't do X dollars (that he or she is telling you about anyway) that means nobody is doing decent coin? I wouldn't begin to guess what other sites make or don't make. Mostly because I don't care, but secondly because I don't care. I worry about my sites, not predicting what others might or might not do."

Actually traffic levels are basically public info, and given that we all use the same resources for traffic and sales, its VERY common that ratios are pretty close, the only reason somebody else can make a crazy better ratio, if theyre offering something youre not or have more affiliate or more self promotion, which would be evidence in traffic numbers.

If you go through all the active reputable solo girls on 3-4 huge solo girl affiliate sites, I can guarantee you that ratios will be the same. Theres nothing your solo girl sites offer that others don't, they all do basically the same conversion rate. Some do better than others, sure. To the extent to where a 5k/day site gets 10k+ in sales. No.
jesus calm down. we talk all the time but you are out of control in this thread.
