Laurel? Manu? Anybody? What's wrong with member pages??

I don't think the revenue comes from the stories and chat.

I think it more likely comes from clicks through off the links page, the front page and any affiliated sites owned by Lit's owners that charge membership fees.

That's the standard model for porn sites.

That's a pretty old model, Lance. Paying for clicks through was a dying breed a couple years ago. I'm sure someone may do it still, but most sponsorship programs - at least in the porn world - are only gonna pay out on conversions.

Literotica has a business relationship with Sextracker.com; here's a blurb from http://webmasters.sextracker.com/ :

The SexTracker MoneyTree

Make money in more ways with MoneyTree - Dialers, Pay per join, pay per free membership, impresssions and referral programs. Weekly payouts, great conversions and unbeatable support!

...so, as you can see Lasher, it's much broader than conversions alone and does include memberships and clicks (impressions), as I said.

Lots of ways to make money off porn, that's for sure!

As I said, Lance, some sponsorship programs still offer this - though it is much more rare these days then it was in the past.

If you'd take a look at the link that you provided and click on the link to the FAQ page, impressions is 1 of 5 options that Sextracker provides. It's not the only option, it's not a required option, and my guess is that at this point it's one that's rarely used.

Whether or not Sextracker offers this as an option is irrelevant. It's still a dying business model.
