It’s a lot harder to find clean video plug trades who don’t use long videos or shitty tube embeds and in return my traffic takes a little dip like a roller coaster.

I’m considering letting in a trades who use those tube sites or long videos because I figure that if they don’t want sales and quality bookmark traffic, at least I still get them.  But I wonder about these few things:

1. If I associate my site with the sites who promote long videos and tube sites, am I harming the industry by being a secondary promoter? And if so, by how much, and how will it affect my business?

2. Will my conversion ratios decline, but ppc/dating/cams ad revenue increase? And how much time do I have before my ppc/dating/cams rates/conversions decline due to everyone else promoting them even more?

3.  AAW once paid a pretty penny, but now pays a much less because A) it’s been abused by webmasters who place ads in poor places which don’t convert for the advertiser and it also takes 100k daily to earn decent cash with AAW.

4. If I do succomb to the changing market and associate with websites who provide long videos, how long until this industry dies due to affiliate programs closing because they’re no longer making money because we’re no longer converting for them?

5. Am I trapped in a case of “if you don’t do it, someone else will?”

6. What are the benefits of associating with tube/long video websites, and do the benefits outweigh the harm possibly caused in the long run to the industry?

7. How do affiliate programs feel about this? I see one lawsuit from Teen Revenue against Red Tube, but I don’t see any other actions against the tube movement, so is it secretly embraced?

8. What are some creative ways to generate additional income if sales decline due to the user getting off on a poor quality and buffering long video?

If you’re interested in making your own porn site, then you’re in the right place. The steps I tell you in brief detail encompass the basics and enough to get you started. While I can’t divulge in the full secrets of the porn industry all in one article, this will at least get your site up and running. To put it lightly, making your own porn site is easy, but doing it right takes careful effort.

You can do one of two things at this point – 1) continue to read to learn the basics of how to start your own porn site, or 2) contract me for a fixed price to build the site for you and show you how it works.

You could spend the next month trying to figure it out on your own, or you could invest in professional to build it for you – why waste your time trying to learn on your own when you can get a tax deduction by hiring me?

If you’ve made it this far and still want to learn on your own, then here’s the steps you need to follow. (more…)

Several people asked how tgp websites make money. For all those several people out there, there’s several answers!

• Sales to sponsor fhg’s and/or banner ads.
• Sell partner accounts.
• Sell banner space.
• Sell paid listings.
• Sell traffic per click.
• Sell exits and 404 traffic.

How much will you make? That all depends on how well you organize your site and if you put any effort into it at all. If you put no effort into the content and marketing, then don’t expect to earn much money. (more…)

When someone like me posts something like this on a forum:

Seeking pr2-pr4 link trades. Almost every niche needed/accepted. Show me what you have via PM or ICQ and I’ll respond with something that’s relevant and helpful to us both.”

Someone like you isn’t supposed to ICQ me like this:

Rachel: hi link trades?

Me: what’s the pr and what are the sites?

Rachel: what niche are you looking for?

STOP!

You already know I that I requested all niches and will have something for you. You already know what I am looking for. Don’t read my request and then ask me what I just asked you for. It wastes both of our time and itt shows you’re just hunting every link trade you can capture and aren’t paying attention to who you’re talking to or what thread you read. You just want every little link trade like a greedy spammer. You’re basically a link savage who probably doesn’t offer any quality links on quality websites. You probably run a pr1 site with 50 hits per day and 127 link trades in your footer and 4 pieces of content on a default Word Press template. At least get a free template like I did.

Not happening.

This is how Rachel should’ve responded:

Rachel: hi link trades?

Me: what’s the pr and what are the sites?

Rachel: domain.com/pr3, domain.com/pr5, domain.com/pr2…etc.

Me:  Sure, I can set you up with…

It’s called getting down to business and skipping the chit chat. For a guy (me) who runs 30 websites on their own, this saves extremely precious time that can be used for important stuff like vacuuming and changing cat litter, or eating lunch in my underwear while setting up a new homepage trade with a milf site. All things more productive than answering my own questions to a girl who didn’t read the thread I wrote or at least pay attention to the person responding when she’s spamming every ICQ number on a forum. How do I know she’s just a scavenger? It’s because forums are the only place I request link trades and post my ICQ address. You won’t find me requesting link trades with ICQ information on any of my websites.

Sorry Rachel, but I had to block you.

When reading adult forums, you may encounter terms such as PPS, CPM, Revshare, or PPC. These stand for Pay Per Sale, Cost Per Thousand* Impressions, Revshare, and Pay Per Click.

These are the three main payment types that adult sponsors use to determine your payout.  Some sponsors may offer a choice to use one, another, or more than one, while other sponsors offer one, the other, or simply just one.

Let’s examine each payment option. (more…)

Let’s get this out of the way first: No. No you don’t have to video tape people having sex. If you refused to make a porn site because your wife or girlfriend would be opposed to you being present while others have sex, then now you no longer need to worry.

The only thing you need to make your own porn site is a computer, some cash, and half a brain. (more…)

If you’re interested in beginning your own adult site, then your first step is to determine what kind of site you want to administer. Many people think that running an adult site means you must film the content on your own, but that is not always the case. Adult sponsors will provide you with every bit of content you need to run your own adult website.

For those of you who thought you had to hire local girls/guys to have sex in your kitchen while your wife is at work, you can rest assured she will come home happy because all the tools you need to run an adult site are already in place!

Different types of websites have different objectives and methods of doing things. These are the most popular adult website types that webmasters use: (more…)

Not all public submissions from the public are approved. Tgp owners are often picky and select the best content only for their website. Deciding which public submissions to approve is usually based on the quality of the thumbnail, title/description text, and if the gallery content is good/bad quality and the webmasters own set of submission rules.

Most webmasters have a set of rules that the public must abide by if they even want their gallery considered. Webmasters of respected tgp’s often get 100+ submissions per day, but may only have room to approve 10-20 per day, at which point a backlog of galleries builds and some webmasters are approved ages later! Think of it as a loooong line to get in a club, and if you don’t follow the dress code, then you’re not getting in.

Partners often have a private submit form and they skip the long line. It’s like the VIP line, you submit and you’re in as long as you followed the rules. People who do paid submits often have what’s called a Partner Account or PA.

PA’s are usually  cheap and they only permit you the ability to submit. They don’t guarantee your submission will be approved, because if you submit something that breaks the rules, then you’re out of luck. Shame on you for paying to get in, but not dressing appropriately.

Paid listings cost much more usually in the $100-$x,xxx.00 range. However, you’re guaranteed to be listed in the spot you purchased for the amount of time you purchased it for. Granted, if your gallery breaks the submission rules set by the tgp/mgp, you can bet your bottom dollar your submission will be deleted and your violation of the terms may give the site owner the ability to revoke your listing.

In 2007 I was guilty of  spending $5,000 to $17,000 per month on advertising. Around February or March of 2008 I put an end to about 90% of my ad purchases. Then I dropped the last of the ad campaigns.

Last night I was somewhat bored and still had some extra cash left in my Traffic Holder account and decided to test some traffic sources for productivity.

How did I test the traffic you ask?

I created a hybrid thumb/text page in TGP X with 100% tracked urls consisting of thumbnails and text links – both visible above the fold. I also removed iframe/java ads since I don’t know a method to track those withTrade Expert. I’m not even 100% sure it’s yet possible to track the traffic on an iframe ad without setting up a campaign in your sponsors admin, but I wasn’t going through that trouble just to test a few traffic sources; removing it was much easier and more efficient in tracking.

Now I have a page where any click will register as a productive click, and the page was very similar to my homepage. I mimiced my homepage because if the traffic turned out to be worth purchasing, then I would purchase more and utilize it to build bigger trades.

Once my page was created, I logged into Traffic Holder and my next step was deciding which method to browse. I know for a fact that testing the traffic is easiest when you purchase by domain. I scrolled through the list of domains selling traffic and looked at their “projected” or “listed” productivity. (more…)

When webmasters submit galleries or plugs, there’s only two kinds of submitters: people who submit well,  and the rest who just suck at it.

People who submit well will do the following:

• Select the correct category.
• Crop a proper high quality thumb from the gallery or video that doesn’t cut off someone’s head or important part.
• Write proper title and description text that uses descriptive, interesting, and entertaining text, as well as ensuring that the described text matches the depicted thumbnail. Example: “burning hot redhead  snuggly rug muffin pussy destroyed by next door neighbors black monster cock.”

People who suck at submitting will do the following:

• Chose the wrong category. Example: they chose black instead of redhead.
• Crop a lazy thumb in which the image shows just a blurry thigh and it doesn’t match the text and/or the content.
• Write an awful three word title that will generate very little clicks. Example: “girl gets fucked.”

If you want to generate more clicks, then follow the first set of rules and don’t be a slacker. Bad titles, bad thumbs, and wrong category choice will almost always garnish lower click through rates, less conversions, and overall bad quality. If a guy clicks on a redhead, and gets a bunch of black girls, then he will probably not click much or buy anything.

If he/she clicks on a black girl and gets more black girls – then you’ve just made his/her day and they will click on more black girls until he/she either masturbates, bookmarks your site, clicks on more related content or trades, or purchases a membership – any combination of those are great for your site.
