Default Re: Credit Crunch and Niche Selection

The truth is, very very few Solo Girl / Teen sites are the least bit interactive. The formula is done to death, yet most of the losers on places like GFY still fall for it. Get a hot chick, take a bunch of pictures, then pay her to do a bunch of fan signs (something I still don't understand). The webmaster then spends a little time teasing the boys on the board and in ICQ, and by that time, the guys are in love and drooling. They never seem to realize that most of these girls would just spit on them in public, but they allow themselves to be played like surfer marks!

They get conversions from these sites in the 1:10,000 range, yet keep promoting them because "she messaged me!".

I do agree that if a girl is fully involved in her site, is interactive with her members (not talking about camgirls trying to get private paid shows), and is responsive to their wants, they can do well. But so few actually do any of that, yet that's what you see promoted the most.

I can see the time when money gets tight that even the most desperate of these sexually-repressed webmasters will realize they have been played and will start dropping those sites. So few people actually analyze there traffic, or even understand it, and have no idea that they are just following the herd mentality that some guys really know how to steer.
