As an affiliate, this is the kind of pressure that I am getting from the producers to stop displaying free porn on my adult websites:

OPEN LETTER TO ALL PRODUCERS AND ALL AFFILIATES OF THE ADULT BUSINESS.

THE ALARM BELLS ARE RINGING





THE ADULT BUSINESS IS IN DANGER OF COLLAPSING, THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE CRISIS!





I am Denys Defrancesco the CEO of ddfprod.com. I am sounding the alarm bells before its too late, as in less than two years our businesses will be dead because of who? Because of what?

It is our fault, we have created the largest freely available pornographic content on the planet, so why pay to see our content?

For 12 years I have created promotion material there are free galleries, porn tubes, exchanging content with the 'share' sites , Google or Yahoo groups etc. .. Because everyone wants to put more and more free content on their websites, we are currently killing the goose that lays golden egg. By giving our surfers uncensored content we've created the largest free site of all time. Put end to end to giving it away on free sites, all free galleries, all trailers’ online, can you imagine the amounts that are out there.





CHANGE YOUR HABITS IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO EARN YOUR LIFE IN THE ADULT INDUSTRY- AND MAKE MONEY AGAIN!





We could fix this with a little discipline, believe me, and start to censor your free galleries, restore the desire to see more by accessing the member’s area of your sites.

The golden age could return and there is enough space for everyone, lets clean up the Net together. I am aware that this will not happen overnight but I everybody’s responsibility to begin to censor their new galleries (put only soft content), not give away hardcore content for free anymore, and reduce the archives of your free sites. BELIEVE me you will not lose your traffic, you'll just boost your income.





I await all your comments and suggestions.

So what does this mean in practice?



Our new galleries have been softcore for a while, with the explicit & hardcore parts censored. The aim is to lure visitors into joining if they want to see explicit content, and to raise the number of sales. If you just add our free galleries and trailers from DDFCASH, you don't need to change anything.



If you have special permission from us, and have been creating your own photo/video galleries, all newly content added must be softcore. Penis and pussy on pictures and videos has to be censored. This is an important issue for us, and no exceptions will be made...

My boldening of the text on the last sentence

For my part, I have stopped even bothering to post the links to the free galleries that DDFprod.com send me. It was never worth my time and effort uploading them when they used to lead to decent free porn galleries. Now, with all those stupid stars and shit, I really cant be bothered. Who the Hell is going to waste their time with them anyway? And all it will do if I continue to post those links is to turn-off regular visitors to my site, who don't want to waste their own time with shit like that.

Any comments?

Obviously, there is enough free material out there already to keep the whole world in free wanking material until mankind finally disappears from the planet. So my removing the free porn content from my own websites isn't going to make one half-penny's worth of difference.

However, I do believe that there is definitely a market for good quality pay-sites. I am a bit skint at the moment - what with the state of the UK economy and the disastrous effect that this has had on the value of the UK pound, as against the Philippines Peso. (I live in the Philippines but my salary is in UK pounds...) Never-the-less, I am more than willing to cough-up a bit of my own cash from time-to-time to pay for the benefits of a really good quality porn pay-site. Masses of decent high quality photography and equally high-resolution images of my favorite girls - and of course, equally high quality, full-length, high-resolution videos. The videos might take forever and the day to download but if I start downloading them before turning my lights off, I generally have a very pleasant bit of viewing to wake up to in the mornings! And for those that are into that sort of thing, there are always the live chat rooms, forums that the girls take an active part in, etc., etc., etc.

I must admit, I haven't had an active subscription with any pay-site for a while - but that is purely down to my lack of funds - NOT because the internet is full of free stuff. The free stuff is great but good quality pay-sites are always better!

So my angle is this...

The vast majority of pay-sites should concentrate on giving something extra that people will be prepared to pay for. (MOST of the sites that I promote here at COC already do that...)

And if you have got a few bob to spare, I would highly recommend taking out a subscription to any decent quality porn site that you fancy.

And if it happens to be one that I promote here - and you click on one of my links before subscribing - well' I'll be more than happy for that and it might even encourage me to keep a free site like this going for a bit longer!!
