They say porn on the net makes billions each year...the most profitable business on the net. That report was years ago.

Porn still makes a lot of money on the web. In fact, the early growth of the internet was largely driven by easy access to porn.

But that's not as much the case as it used to be -- now that more and more of the general public are coming online.

This skews the formula in a different direction.

Once the general public get involved in something, then the porn shops tend to be regulated off to certain sections of a community -- and not directly across the street from middle-class neighborhoods.

Sure -- the porn shops still turn a profit.

But the biggest sex sites around don't make anywhere near the money that Amazon.com does -- or that ebay does.
