Victoria Givens: Porn is not Recession Proof

$50 in the bank today beats the heck out of maybe $75 if you are lucky 3 months from now.

Most of the CCBill sponsors that I promote are doing exactly that. The results are interesting, and defy analysis. Some seem to get a fair number of the higher priced non-recurring, where others still get mostly 1 month recurring. I've not been able to find any consistent pattern.

Do you think it has something to do with the site?

Maybe sites that are obviously worth 90 days are getting more of the 90 day joins. I know we get a lot of them and I was thinking of making it 180 days for the same price to see if we could not get a few more.

Over all today I would say we see more and more non recurring joins.

The card companies are making the economy worse imo.
