I was trying to fill in some niche lists on one of my traffic sites and could not find many stores with any depth of product on them. I'm not going to put up a link, to a store with only a few scenes in them. I'll give it another month or so and go back down the list again ...
Not sure if an affiliate program is right for these sites, we would not send traffic to a clips site that had other peoples content in. I think the best route for these clips stores is to buy traffic. Might be wrong though.

One of the most obvious reasons there is not a lot of content in some stores is they don't make the owners money. Profit generates work. LOL

I have a bunch of clips in my store. But a major part of the problem is that it is extraordinarily tedious, difficult and time consuming to add clips to the ClipClinic stores. In another thread I posted a detailed list of actions that one had to go through to add a single clip and it was twenty steps (20!) and more than a half dozen screens to slog through to add a clip, which all takes a good 12-15 minutes each. It's not just backwards, it's insane how convoluted the process is!

I have hundreds of clips on my Clips4Sale store and many in my Clips.com stores. But those were easy and quick to add with one screen where you can re-use the information from the previous screen to add a clip in C4S for example. I would have to hire a third world laborer at a few dollars per hour to add clips to my ClipClinic store. I may just break down and do it so that I can finally hope to achieve a sale with ClipClinic.com!
Right on. People don't do all that unless the return is there.

ClipClinic need lots of clips to keep the customers coming, they need to make it easy and profitable for those who contribute content. Without lots of good content there stores will not get the traffic.
