So let's assume OF is doing great and a great way to promote porn. What does that show us?
Fans, those are the people with the money that feeds the industry, love talking to girls. Either online or in person so including them in shows and opening it to the public is a no brainer if you want maximum promotion.
Anyone can drive traffic, none of these girls are webmasters, geeks or nerds. Just ordinary girls the fans want to relate to. No need to pay webmasters, geeks or nerds 50%, give them free samples, hosting, other tools etc to allow them to flood the internet with free content and put themselves between the fans and the sites selling the content.
This point is very important. Why allow affiliates to use a models name, the sites name or any term that allows them to get onto SEs in front of the sites selling that content? Why give affiliates free anything to place themselves between the buyer and seller.
The amount given to promoting the site led to not enough being spent on content. This led to loads of sub standard content that didn't convert, retain or bring back members for updates. Sites were launched with no updates, no money for updates and mediocre content. The site owners thought if they could only get enough traffic to the site someone would buy a membership. Sadly for these sites most customers saw the samples and tours and decided not to buy.
Please don't reply with "It's only possible now with social media". We've had forums from the beginning of the Internet, if that's the only option it could be used and was in places just not enough.
