Today, Manwin alone has 65 million uniques a day.

In total, there probably are around 200 million or more today.
Yes my maths suck. On the rest you're wrong again.

Traffic from new emerging nations is worth nothing more than what you can get to sell the click. Most of it is on a wage level that will never be able to spend a lot on porn, much of it hasn't got a CC we can process. Then there's the moving market to consider, in the prime billing countries. This is people whose circumstances change, die, just go off the boil, etc.

In plain language, they lost a job or earning less.
Older people die, younger people are less likely to buy.
People who realise that paying for porn is a mugs game now. They can get all they need for free. Recorded porn, cams and dating. Then the guys who realise penis pills don't work.

Now unless Manwin by some miracle have turned round the trend every person working in online porn knows. The more people who surf leads to worse ratios. Unless you can sell more to the same people the spiral is downward unless you can replace lost buyers with new ones. Which in the case of online porn is US/Canada, EU and few other places.

Babes.com is the route forward. I told you that over a year age and glad you listened. Also told you to snap up some of the offline companies because of their libraries. That needs to be stepped up simply because Manwin needs to fill gaps in their portfolio of content they offer. Picking up more of what you have, isn't filling gaps.
