Are the whales facing extinction?
Most of the whales I know have beached themselves into their own programs. The old days where the whales ran in pods and could make or break a program have become as antique as scrimshaw on a sperm whale's tooth.
Many of those that claim to have caught whales everyone knows are just telling fish stories.
Now it seems so many small one sign up a day plankton are the food of choice to the leviathans...

Good point Far-L
And some most excelent nautical references ;-)
Oh and by your earlier post I think you could be crazier than me.
However...
Are whales extinct?
I know they aren't , I have seen them. (arrrgh)
What has happened is they have migrated to sunnier climes.
Why lay on the cold beaches of adult when you have traffic?
It is still my belief , that there are really only three species of Whales left.
1.) The highly hunted and prized Mailer Whale
2.) The illusive SE Whale
3.) The Domain Whale.
I know (major TGP owners) excepted that can send 100 joins a day , sustained , except a whale from these three species.
People will say they can , I call "Bullshit"
And here is the problem in catching those whales.
If you are gonna mail , mail to where you get the most $$$. You can change in a heartbeat.And factor in what gets you less "heat"
If you are gonna garner SE traffic , send it to where you make the most money.
If you are sending domain hits...like wise.
And currently it is not adult. The last time REAL whales as a group schooled around a product it was prolly the Paris Hilton tape...all whales did good on that one.Even though some were left unpaid , before that the money was good (Rule 17: The last wire nevewr comes)
Most whales are swimming round pharma , mortgages , Credit , IR, etc etc...
And frankly , in my case , whilst I concentrate on building things for the future it is nice to have a reghular income , besides recurs. Especially in this day and age.
So I follow the money.
And it isn't in adult.
I* (means "Technick") can take no more than 30mins out of my day and send traffic to 4 different places.
All non adult related and can make between the 4 of them $1500 - $2000 commission a day. Not a fortune but not bad either. About 4 - 5k sales a day in total.
Takes us no time at all and allows us to build foundations.
One of the 4 places is an Oprano family members non adult proggie , I checked my stats for yesterday...2k...lovely.And the money dealing with them is as good as in the bank.
Gains no heat
Causes no waves.
Takes no time.And I can make that 2k a day on 10 -20 non adult joins a day instead of 50 -80 adult joins a day which frankly requoire more effort etc etc...
Now I'm only at a growing stage so thats not a lot of traffic, nor a great deal of money...but it is sustained and growing.I hope to regain my fullfledged whale staus in the summer.At the moment I'm merely a dolphin.
That said...
I shall not give up adult traffic totally...but from my point of view , seriously , I have never considered myself a porner (well except as a hobby
) I have always considered myself a traffic sender really.
And as a traffic sender I will send mine to where it is most profitable.
And the REAL Whales I know agree with me.
