Signups are like a roller coaster here (up and down from day to day), but overall it looks a bit lower (3-6%).

Anyone want to share their point of view after taking a look at their stats?

No stats, but I'll be the answer is: yes, recession-proof.

I've made some mad money pimpin' CreamBling.com within it's first month

So I don't even have to worry about any of that economy shit, the way this program is converting for me right now.

The conversions are crazy, it'll take that 3-6% loss you're experiencing and "work it on out".

Check it out.

I mean...

everyone's feeling it right now. And you'd be a liar if you said you didn't.

Everyone's reporting a loss within that margin ALL ACROSS THE BOARD in this industry

But here's "The Kicker"

It all depends on what programs you're pushing.

If you're not pushin' a quality program, than you're gonna' know about it. Your numbers wont lie.

If you're pushin' some of the more Quality progs out there (like the one in my sig) than you're gonna' see some improvements in your ratios... that's just the way it's happening right now.

You gotta' analize who you're pushing, that's all.

That'll remedy a significant portion of your ratio right there.

That's why I give 'em big ups all the time on this board.

I don't get SHIT for doing it. But guess what? it's helped me out, it's changed my numbers DRAMATICALLY

and I don't lose anything at all really, by telling you about it.

Recession proof, yes.
Tube-proof, no.

I don't think porn is recession-proof. When money is in a crunch 'enterainment' budgets are first to go.

Entertainment is one of the first areas to feel the pressure in a recession.

I was going to say the same, I think only certain niche sites will remain in the balance, such as good HD sites with original content, as older "flat" cookie cutter pay sites are NOW A THING OF THE PAST!

You have enough people losing their houses and mortgages, joining porn sites aren't quite the priority.

My guess is it changes people's tastes. 'Fantasy' destination movies and glamour sites will probably benefit while cheap looking jack-shacks will probably fall off.

Let me throw this monkey wrench in your scenarios.....

Is porn recession proof? Yes.

Is ONLINE porn recession proof? NOPE.

Why? People wonder why porn is recession proof and the reason is because it is a "sin pleasure" that people will pay for no matter what. That is why after a long day at work trying to figure out how a man is going to keep his company out of bankruptcy and being another failed business he will stop off at the strip club and enjoy several "sin pleasures"...he will have a cocktail, a fine cigar, and the company of a lovely lady because the price of those seems small in the grand scheme of things.

Why does that not apply to ONLINE porn? Because we rely on credit cards and credit cards ARE NOT recession proof. When people cannot pay their bills they put more money on their credit card until they are at their limits. When they get to the limit then they find other ways to pay the bills...but they cannot buy a membership because their card is getting declined.

I say these 4 words more than any in a given day....ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY. It will answer most every question you have on any topic.

Check out how the strip joins are doing by reading RICK Cabaret's public report. Should give a pretty good idea how well they are doing in times of reduced consumer spending.
