Here is my 2010 Predictions for Adult and what are yours ?

  • December 24, 2009

1. The constant drop in bandwidth prices will allow Tube sites to offer even better quality video.
All most all tube sites stream movies between 300K to 500K but the cost of BW is dropping at an alarming rate. At 10gig you can buy 1$/meg and this will become a commonplace in 2010 thanks to all the 100 gig dwdm replacing 40gig dwdm. As the prices drop more and more tube sites will be offering higher quality videos. You Tube has started 1080p now.
2. More legal Tube sites.
Considering you can buy DVD’s content rights ultra cheap (the days of 500$ per DVD is gone) i can see large Cam / Dating sites starting legal Tube sites just for the traffic.
3. Large all you can eat sites at $5 to $10/Month.
Sites such as porn.com and videobox.com are already doing this. Good value for a customer. you get all the porn you need for less then 100$ a year.
4. Death of VOD
This is a sad one for me, an industry I pioneered, worked on for the past 10 years. I dont see why any one will pay 10 cents a min to watch a movie any more. Yes, their is the 5% that needs a selection but Tubes or pay sites like porn.com can keep the other 95% happy.
5. Death of Photo Content.
People are still shooting videos because their is a need for HD content. but I dont see a need for Photos any more. You can take a model that was shot 2 years ago and put it on the site again and no one seem to notice it.

Having said that as a company my core focus for 2010 is in any thing Live and Social including the mobile space. Been working on few things most of 2009 and taking it to market in 2010.

What to do with 500M page impressions a month ?

  • December 12, 2009

A friend of mine joined as CTO for mainstream company that provides an ad supported internet service. They have about 1.5B page views (users using their service to brows web pages) and 1/3 of them surf porn sites. Since he has zero connection is porn world he called me up and wanted to know what to do with that traffic. Right now they just show banner ads that are non porn related.
I told him that since they know which site the user is visiting they can sell that ad spot to the competition (If the user is going to coke site , they sell ad spot to Pepsi)
Any other thoughts ?
Edit: This service is mostly Europe based.

I don’t get mobile porn.

  • November 25, 2009

Why offer a mobile version of your members area when the # of mobile porn viewers is so small right now. I understand that it is a growing market however in a year or two they will have a new standard and you will have to re-encode all the videos again.
Seems a big $$$ and time undertaking to re-encode videos in mobile device version….
What am I missing..
