The people I know and talk to that have been in this business for the past 10 years are all way down in income from 6 and more years ago. Competition, saturation in most niches, and the cookie cutter look of most sites have driven down sales. As Graham said, if you've been in this business for 10 years and actually say your sales are up, then you had none to begin with. Just look at the number of programs that have either disappeared or "sold out" this past year to know everything is basically down.

We've offset the drop in sales for our original sites by developing new sites and new projects. I've also been very lucky in a few non-Adult projects I started a while back. We're still nowhere near the insane money of the "Gold Rush" days, but we still do very well, and should continue to do so for a number of years to come. In fact, I can dump all my Adult properties tomorrow, and still make a very good living from my non-Adult stuff (which is growing month after month).
