Trends in the business...

[sweetums]

Interesting threads, EC...and some very thought-provoking points raised.

I think many of the new "trends" have been mentioned by others here.

The rise of more 'reality-based' sites as we see the merge between mainstream media and adult continue. The rise of 'niche' specific sites. The need for diversification in terms of billing options. The need to monetize on as much of our traffic as possible.

One of the major ones that I think we'll see emerge, most especially with the ever-increasing problems of converting traffic from lower quality sources, is that people will become more open to the option of actually buying their traffic as opposed to simply relying on traffic trades.

Beyond which is the issue Vid raised -- we're going to see ever-increasing state intervention into how the adult online biz operates.
