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:

Blogs: short term for “web log.”  Blogs commonly contain a sample picture or two of a gallery and a paragraph of text near the photos. Webmasters usually place text links within the paragraph leading to content and similar content, or sometimes they plug other websites for traffic trading purposes.  Blogs can do traffic trades by method of toplists, plugging sites as posts or within posts, and hard link trades. Some blogs post random girls and a blind traffic link to increase some trades. That’s done with a trade script like Trade Expert.

Blogs often use software like WordPress, KatCMS, Babelogger, or any script that permits them to post a photo with a description as long as a paragraph.

Babe Blogs sometimes post just the sample picture leading to content and maybe a sentence long description or a name. They also commonly use large pictures and focus mostly on picture galleries opposed to video plug trade sites which use videos.

The galleries on babe logs/blogs are often clean cut with links to the sponsor and perhaps some ppc links.

Video plug trade sites run on scripts like KatCMS which permit webmasters to create a hosted video page with a video, ads, and plugs to the trades. Video plug trade sites base traffic trades on a combination of raw or unique visitors and productivity.  Video plug trade sites keep track of trade statistics and permit submissions based upon the ratio of incoming traffic to the amount of outgoing traffic. For example, if I send someone 90 hits, and they’ve sent me 100 hits, then I am at a 90% ratio. An 85% ratio is very common.

The video pages on these sites sometimes contain tons of random banner/text ads, popunders, interstitials, peeler ads, and anything else that webmasters can stuff on a webpage.

TGP sites post submitted galleries and free hosted galleries from sponsors. Traffic trades are managed by a trade script that permits traffic skimming and toplist output; Trade Expert. The site itself is powered by a TGP script such as JMBSoft’s TGP X.

TGP sites post only image gallery content and list them as thumbnails or text links.

MGP sites are are the same thing except they use movie content rather than picture content.

Paysites provide adult videos and pictures to members who register and pay a monthly membership fee. Paysites often have affiliate programs in which webmasters can promote the content and generate sales in which they’re paid on pay per sale or revshare options.

Paysites with an affiliate program are often referred to as sponsors, and paysites don’t trade traffic. They may do crossales inside the admin, but they don’t trade traffic like the other types of sites do.

Tube sites contain nothing but videos and rarely trade traffic. The objective is to keep users on the site for as long as possible. They generate income with sold ad space most commonly leading to dating or live cam programs.

Review sites review adult sites by ranking them on various categories and posting links for surfers to check out each site on their own. They generate income with their sign up links.

MGP – Movie Gallery Post

Tgp’s content consists of links to image galleries. Image galleries come from public or paid submissions, FHGs (free hosted galleries) from sponsors, and some webmaster post their own hosted galleries.

Legit tgp’s contain a public toplist which often displays the top trades of the website, usually based on productivity of the trade (clicks to galleries/trades). Tgp toplists let other webmasters know who the site is trading with, so that they can decide if they should inquire about a trade with their own site.  Not having a toplist is not a good idea – webmasters want to see who you’re sharing traffic with as they want to be part of a good ring of trades. I personally do not trade with tgp/mgp sites who don’t post a toplist. I like to know who I am trading with, and who they’re trading with so that I can avoid bad sites (cheaters, low productivity sites, cj sites).

Tgps usually follow one of two formats – text or thumbnail.

Some webmasters run text only tgps where the gallery titles, descriptions, or other textual content point to the galleries. Other people post thumbnail preview images of the gallery and those images link to the full gallery. Then you have the hybrid webmasters who post both text and thumbnails on the same page.

Who makes the thumbnails on the thumb tgp sites? Most tgp scripts have a built in thumbnail cropper for surfers to create thumbnails. Tgp scripts can often create thumbnails automatically, but a robot does it and sometimes cuts off actors/acrtresses heads or other parts that usually need to be recropped. Sponsors sometimes provide webmasters with thumbnail images as well, and you can usually copy/paste a thumbnail from an FHG and resize it if you need to. Some people create their own custom thumbnail image and upload it via the submission forms upload option (if available, not all sites permit uploads).

Thumbnail galleries generally have 10-15 preview pictures of various sizes which link to full size images, and text/image  links or banners pointing surfers to the program or main website to see more content or purchase a membership to the program.

Mgps have the same concepts, but all the galleries posted have videos instead of images. There’s often 1-4 videos ranging in length of 10-30 seconds (will show 3-4 different clips) to 3 minutes (will display one clip).

When it comes to what kind of content to use, there are two different paths you can navigate through.

• General tgp with multiple general categorized galleries; nothing specific.
• Niched specific tgp with specialized content in a focused particular niche only.

General tgp’s have numerous categories of lots of niches for the surfers to pick and chose from. This gives surfers a touch of everything, and let’s visitors explore options they may not have been aware of before. This is good for people who market generic terms on search engines, and gives the users lots of options to chose from once they arrive at the site.

Niche specific tgp’s focus on one type of content and give surfers exactly what they want. Sufer types in a term on a search engine, lands at your site, and gets exactly what they’re looking for. This works great as long as you have enough unique content in whatever niche you chose to promote.
