What's not being understood is how exactly all this free traffic is being monetized so as to justify the 100's of millions of dollars being invested...and the advertising that "Spunk Lube" buys isn't the answer...lol.Quote:

What legitimate companies do you see advertising on tube sites??Quote:

It's not the attraction of traffic...that's being accomplished...it's monetizing the traffic i.e. convincing people to buy something they're already getting for free (or simply depending on Spunk Lube to spend 100's of millions on advertising)...oh wait, the freesite will simply buy the Spunk Lube corporation and make the money that way.Quote:

Legitimate = non-porn. Think dishwashing liquid.Quote:

Anyone have an even more updated figure?

First, there's no way to factually ascertain that info because porno firms are typically private, meaning they are under no obligation to provide certified, audited, financial statements (unlike public companies that sell shares listed on exchanges).Quote:
