Actually no one has addressed any reasons why adult on line revenue generation won't continue to decline for the majority
No solid reasons why there will be a comeback so to speak
Carrie - not yet, I'm an anomaly in this business. Could be one of the last small guys standing - due to building long term relationships with .... customers
For years I've provided what many talk about, good service at a fair price. They keep coming back, while many have to scramble for new customers I keep the old and add new. Personality and service go a long way. My first full time employee all those years ago ...... customer service
I'm not sure if Adult Sets the bar anymore, 5 years ago - yes, today it's much more widespread and I think adult is stagnate (I'm guilty as any)
eatapeach - not saying this is your situation but for example
If you make 50K last year and make 60K this year that's nice but ...... not enough
Who does Jenna Jameson being on E for an hour benefit besides Jenna? Doesn't put money in my pocket
What new billing solutions???
Take a look at the majority of your sales, I know the majority of mine come from the USA and USA buyers are Credit Card Buyers
If Visa tells us they won't process high risk tomorrow do you have any ideas on a viable solution?
Yes there would still be buyers who are willing to pay for porn but the more steps to payment the fewer who will jump through the hoops
You hint at if everyone has broadand they will start buying porn, that remains to be seen. In fact I've had cable modem for 6 years and most everyone I know has DSL or better
KevinG - funny this is I have been a motivational speaker (and a speaker at the University of Maryland)

Ulfie - you know it!
Part of what I'm getting at is I keep hearing everything will improve but no concrete reasons
What's going to change?
You think the beer money/GFY crowd is going to dry up? and then things automagically get better? (new word "automagically")
Is there some magic pixie dust due to fall?
Who's next to nip at our heels after Acacia?
What happens if Visa/MC says nope not anymore, or 10K or 100K a year per site to process with a 6 month net payment? Plus fines of $250 per chargeback over 10 per month? - Not saying that would happen but it's their game- they make the rules
What happens if laws are passed in the USA and UK to prohibit UCE? How long until those governments figure out the way to stop UCE is at the processing level - then you have some people who were making $$$ looking at how to keep that $$$ coming in
It's not doom and gloom, it's a real look at a challenging situation
