Touche to Khan. Actually it is sort of a cool idea but one that's not ready for prime time. Porn sites advertise on other porn sites and places like this because that's where they're future client base hangs out. Porn sites pay a referral fee for each paying client that comes from the referral site. In effect the system in place is a bit like Groupon in that sense.

However, a Groupon type site wouldn't really work for porn, at least in my mind. First, you would need a trusted clearing house (aka - a Groupon like site) that a consumer would trust to turn over their credit card info and trust that they get refunded if the minimum number of "buys" isn't met. So far, nothing like that exists that I know of but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

Second, porn is more of an impulse purchase for the majority of users that is already relatively cheap. I don't see a lot of people waiting for a groupon deal where they might save $5 or $10 of a $25 site (compared to a discount they might find here for example) when they have the time and inclination for porn "right now".

Third, the vast majority of porn folk prefer the freebies seen on tube and pirate sites as opposed to paying. If most people aren't going to pay anyway, I don't see a Groupon site changing that fact.

Fourth, quality and time are big factors for people who pay for their porn. I pay for porn because I know that what I choose download is worth keeping and I don't have to hunt all over internet hell to find what I want thus saving me time. You don't see big companies on Groupon because they already have what people want, why undercut yourself when you don't have to. I would foresee a porn Groupon site being flooded with small niche sites with limited mass appeal and sellers of crap porn that's been cloned and resold to death for the last decade. The major players who produce the good stuff at a reasonable price would probably stay away, thus limiting the draw to a Groupon like site. Porn is already loaded with rip off sites as well and a Groupon site isn't likely to be able to sort through the good from the bad, thus discouraging buyers from taking the leap into something "new" - that's why we hang out here.

Lastly, Groupon is slowly dying because the model was so easy to replicate and because merchants discovered that they weren't getting enough return traffic to justify handing out a deep discount to the masses. Porn sites are already a low margin business and they know that most users don't stick around for very long. If I were a pornsite operator I'd ask myself "why bother" when the system in place seems to be working. Edited on Nov 22, 2013, 01:11pm
