I’m Starting to Feel the Pinch

I lost another advertiser today. The loss of revenue really hurts. Does anyone want to buy some ad space?

Here is my traffic graph. I do roughly the same traffic as Xbiz.com, which I imagine does close to $10,000 a month in online ad revenue. And I do far more traffic than AdultFYI.com, which has ads everywhere. What am I doing wrong?

  1. What you’re doing wrong?

    You’re NOT blackmailing the industry. Start doing that and advertisers will flow. And I want 10% of that share.

    And BTW, accept my fucking MySpace invitation, dammit.

  2. OK Im gonna tell it like it is for starters you aint Luke. Your updates are lazy and even worse. AVN isnt being sold off bit by bit advanstar has owned AEE for several years now and you were wrong about avn selling the awards show. This is just pure laziness. But even that would be forgiven by your readers IF you kept the audience entertained…as it is BigDickDaddy does more for your readership than you do.

    Advertisers know a sinking ship when they see it

  3. Peoples were coming here for Luke.Now that he is gone,his soul isn’t here anymore so…

  4. Sorry Mr. Ford…but your chart has flatlined and you are dead. Thanks for
    playing though.

  5. Luke ford is a douchebag and every one hates him, including Luke himself. and its not the fun kind of hate like ‘oh what a tragedy Brittney Spears, or Paris Hilton…’ its just the hate that you have for a 20 year old scumbag panhandling when he should be working, its that kinda hate.

    oh and luke is a superficial, hypocritical, forked tongued bottom feeder that throws stones while he lives in a glass hovel.

    I have to agree with what was said above by Mike South. PLUS … How many times have you posted a blog entry ending with a comment like “more to follow”? And then there is never any subsequent follow up.

  7. Desert N8iv says:

    Here’s another thing. If I’m correct, Alexa measures traffic by the number of unique visitors to a site. It doesn’t define the how long they stay on the site or how commercially valuable they are to the site’s advertisers.

    The bottom line for an advertiser is simply how much sales revenue can the ads on a particular site generate. That’s pretty easy for the advertisers to figure out.

  8. ninjapirate says:

    Adultfyi probably is cheaper to advertise on and is able to convert better. They also put their ads right down the center. Considering some of their news stories are advertising propaganda themselves, like Not the Brady’s XXX winning best DVD menus, there might be something insider going on there.

  9. No one is gonna advertise until Luke gets his head out of his ass and works to improve the website. Specifically more articles and more drama. If he keeps his current pace up he will be even more homeless then he is now. There is always plenty of drama in the jizz biz. For example that stupid loser “dick chibbles” who made a stupid ass posting on Adultfyi is in vegas trying to get work. Like a good suitcase pimp he is free to work with other women but his whore can only work with him. He is a retarded looking dude so he better have money for a bus ticket back to Greyhound.

    Luke needs to have categories like best suitcase pimp. Here are a few to consider:

    – Lori Lusts husband Craig
    – Skeeter Kerkove
    – Teri Weigel husband Murrill
    – Brandy Lyons ex-hubby Scott “the mullet” Lyon
    – Craig “the whale” Valentine(summer “chubby face” hazes hubby)
    – Evan Stone(Tera Patrick)
    – That gay looking dude married/divorced from Jenna “i hate porn” Jameson
    – Dick “bags are always packed” Chibbles

    Anyone care to add some names? Any ex-suitcases pimps care to explain why needed to be hypocrites and losers?

  10. Luke…..you should get back to producing quality content. If you were still posting compelling material such as interviews with industry legends like Jim South, Jimmy D, and Henri Pachard then I would stand in line to advertise on your site. In it’s current state I do not see any value to the user or the advertiser.

  11. ThaMotherfuckinWebmaster says:

    evan stone isnt tera’s husband his name is evan seinfeld aka spyder jones. my vote goes to jay though i think he would be the most successful of the suitcase pimps.

  12. Larry Horse says:

    Only reason that Evan Seinfeld got on that Ted Nugent band show on VH1 was cause of his marriage to Tera, I never heard of Biohazard before that and they had a hard time on the show finding any benchmark of the band’s success. I think he and Jay are in a dead heat there. Mickey G.(Missy) count? That lameass guy who was married to Raquel Darrian. The late Leslie Glass’ husband. Wasnt Brad Armstong the de facto suitcase pimp for Dyanna Lauren?

  13. moonkelly says:

    Hey BigDickDaddy, what about getting your own site? You’re way more entertaining that Luke, and you seem to have your ear to the ground.

  14. elglorioso says:

    what moonkelly said.

  15. MrBenGrim says:

    BigDickDaddy talks a big game. But that’s it. Just talk. Lots of it.

  16. The Colonel says:

    I agree with the last two posts. BDD must start a new website; that would be great.

  17. Luke? get on the phone and start calling. Or send emails and offer some free incentives. The ace in the hole would be involving Rob Spallone who is a very unique Porn Dude. He always is entertaining.

  18. Luke earned a readership when he worked exposing the pathetic pretences of the losers
    in the porn world, he was on to something even greater when he began exposing the
    shoddiness of mainstream Hollywood..but ALAS ALAS..Luke never was that in love with truth
    and indeed never rid himself of being secretly envious of all that “success”. “Gosh if I could
    only produce a successful made for TV movie….I know I will interview a couple hundred
    hack producers to see if I can learn the formula”, and so became pathetic himself.

  19. Here Luke.. a title for interesting porn expose “Thoughts on the Bus Ride back to Gopher Prarie”

  20. jeremysteele says:

    My heart bleeds for you, Deep Throat.

  21. The whole economy is correcting back to reality and a good thing too. How many readers here personally know, for example, a bleach blonde real estate agent whose head is as empty as a ping pong ball but who believes without the slightest doubt that she deserves 200K a year for driving people around to look at houses.. I know several.

  22. The Colonel says:

    Jan, what do you do for a living? Fucking on films, turning cheap tricks at private sessions for dirt cheap. What is exactly your especiality, and how come you’re any better than those bleach blonde shit heads you are referring to?! See, we’re all in this together, and ” The whole economy is correcting back to reality” effects you too, it means people can no longer afford to fuck you or jerk off to your flicks.

  23. Actually, I think readers are kinda sick of listening to a whiny jerk-off like Luke tell other whiny predatory low lives what shit they are when Luke is doing the exact same thing he is complaining about. Its like the jew calling the other kyke heeb. It was funny for a while but Luke shot his wadd long ago.

    but seriously, Luke complains about predatory activity in the porn business, when he preys on porn makers while selling ads to porn sellers.

    Luke’s sister site is the same, he is a pious jew looking down his nose at other slimy jews, often the slimy jews he picks on are socially more productive than the sack of shit that Luke himself is.

    If he sees a shrink this is the main thing i would work on for the next century or so, or until he fixes himself, what ever comes first.

    Luv,

    Luke’s Mum

  24. Yawn…hit a nerve eh..Colonel…lets see just what part of the California
    Dream Machine scam are you part of? Some part obviously ..maybe like Luke you believe you should get 10k a month for cut-n-paste drivel?..Anyway the economic party is over and you can stand there
    in your daydream for the next 10 years liike the rest of the losers or get a real job

  25. The Colonel says:

    Jan, for the sake of arguement, I’m a porn producer, in other words, a smut peddler; and even though it doesn’t pay as good as it used to, but still it’s a real job, whether you like it or not. But we were not talking about me, we were talking about you who points finger at the others with such a holier than thou attitude. Why don’t you tell us about yourself, and tell us what’s so special about you.

  26. Its not a holier than thou attitude partner- thats being too kind.. its revulsion at a upsided down system that keeps people with true talent or even just basic honesty on the margins and rewards every scam artist, creep and phoney with riches. The very fact that you can drip with self pity because a smut peddler cant make a fast buck anymore is exactly what I mean. As for religion..you should embrace it with both arms..it might have a bit of forgiveness and understanding for you.. I have none and only wish IRS audits, pandering charges and the supreme delight of seeing your ilk spending 5 years picking up roadside trash in the 110 degree heat

  27. The problem is your own religious identity crisis and the fact that you are a reluctant witness of porn. The industry is full of stories worth publishing, but often times you adopt the same or at least a similar attitude than that of Jenna Whatever. If you really think that porn hurts your Jewish faith, quit and do it for good. But if you want to make a living out of this industry you need to do your homework, and that–BTW–does not mean that you should agree with all the crap that you quite accurately describe in many of your entries. Quite the opposite, but whether you decide to compete with AVN (as an industry cheerleader) or you become a true watchdog of the industry you need accurate reporting, frequent updates, and you need to make up your mind about whether you keep your association with porn or you devote your energies to all your other websites.

  28. The Colonel says:

    Jan, It’s interesting how you speak about everything except the fact that you suck stranger’s cocks on camera for a living.

  29. AshleyWentworth says:

    You guys are doing great.
    I’d call it dead even at this point.
    Your turn jan.

  30. AshleyWentworth says:

    You guys are doing great.
    Right now I’d call it even, a draw.
    Yes, I know two former adult actress who are now “realtors.” They are both doing very well. The word on them is they’re expert seductreses and closers. Commitments to buy are usually accomplished in a horizontal state, I say good for them.
    jan, your turn

  31. jeremysteele says:

    How about those Giants!

  32. Turn the site over to JimmyD…he’s Always got the scoop and the ladies too.

  33. Larry Horse says:

    Why would anyone pay 25K for a site like this? Is it a ruse so Gene Ross can get more money when he sells his? What would Luke do if he didnt blog anymore, nothing, jeez Steele you have a talent you can cash in on, $75 a Bukkake is money in the back, unlike Mr Ford. Fake Luke? Well he must have some money if he had 25K to blow on this thing.

  34. Larry Horse says:

    in the bank, oops. for money in the back, see Veronica Jett, see what brown did for her.

  35. The Real Luke micro manages these things until he gets $25k..then some years later..maybe another $25k…not the best way to build wealth, but at least he’s got $25k hehehe..

  36. jeremysteele says:

    I once decided to attend bukakas for a bit because I want to do some H.S.T. Gonzo journalism, but am retired from that.

  37. Larry Horse says:

    How bout a show featuring Big Dick Daddy and some rotating guest hosts ala Sunday Morning Shootout on AMC, Sunday Porning Shootout perhaps? First show could be BDD and Steele with special guest Kurt Lockwood or even the real Luke. But it would have to be on real TV not some internet thing, think G4 would be interested? Probably not. Steele, dont bring up HST’s name again, seeing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is not the same as reading the book.

  38. jeremysteele says:

    I prefer the book myself actually, Larry.

  39. ForrestHump says:

    It seems every post here is yet another negative scoup heralding and celebrating the death of porn. The demographic is fans who hate smut.

    So how can expect to sell ad space when all you attract is haters of the genre and the industy? It’s like trying to sell vice to moralists.

    Why would anybody click on ads when most porn is for free? Fans come here to rant and rave. Not to shop for online voyeur jerk off material.

    Bottom line. When all you do is celebrate the ruin of X your site becomes part of its destruction. Does it sink in and make any sense?

  40. Gotta get out there and pound the pavement, guy. Work that moneymaker! Shake those trees! (For a full list of inspiring cliches, write me)

  41. What are you doing wrong? Well, for startes, as Mike said, you AIN’T L-KE F-RD. You are a power-hungry douchebag New York Attorney named Moxie and people are starting to catch on to it. The first clue was your threat to start banning people for being funnier than you 2 weeks after you bought the site. Then there’s the pisspoor writing style utter lack of a sense of humor and the fact that you have all the personality of a wet napkin.

    But the bigest giveaway was your appointment of your own alt-id, “paperchase” to be your new Consigliore. Did you think people forgot you two were the same person? You’re dumber than I thought.

    If you really want to save this site, talk to John Belinke over at KSEX. As fast as he’s running the place into the ground, he’s still doing a much better job keeping his head above water than you.

    Be seeing you…

  42. Porn is Dead? Long live Porn! The thing you might want to look at is updating and upgrading your ad space. The 300×250 ads are nice. You could supersize your banners to 728×90 and 160×600. Bigger ads do better.

    Just some friendly advice from another smut site owner :p
