Great post Alex.

The problem is for many years people thought traffic was the answer. The problem was the way they got it and the cost of getting it. Tube sites that can't afford their BW are going to be hit in 2009. As more businesses cut back some of the hosting companies running on a shoe string will be closing or putting up their costs.

With less people with less money to spend more will be going to Tube sites and less will be buying. Traffic for many is like the French Kings, something they can't afford and the solution is the guillotine. (My attempt at humour.)

However the answer is not better affiliate programs. It's better members areas. Until this industry wakes up to the fact that a Tube site giving away a product costing them cents, we will not be able to sell our products for dollars. To support our cost of getting 1 buyer in 1,000 surfers to sign up.

We need a product 1 in 100 will buy and more money spent on inside a members area than we currently do.
