The Adult Webmaster

First they came for Chris (webmaster), then they came for Ray (producer), entonces ellos vinieron para Fred (producer), then they came for an entire industry.

Don’t just sit back and let them come for you. Make sure you rock the vote this November (and any time elections are held), so that archaic politicians don’t continue to enforce their outdated beliefs on you.

Personally I am sick of watching my elected officials mis-represent me. I guarantee you, a slew of my friends will be checking out which congressmen voted to make online poker illegal before they cast their ballots in the upcoming elections.

As I have always preached, niches sell. You can brainstorm a million niches, but can you actually find niche content that will satisfy your visitor? There are a couple rules to live by in porn marketing.

1. You don’t have to like what you promote.
2. Don’t shortchange your buyer.

Now one of the more popular niches online is “hardcore.” There are a million different definitions of what hardcore porn is… personally I define it as a more brutal niche. One of the best converting sponsors in the hardcore niche for me, is Duke Dollars. Their program is built on face fucking, gagging & dumping facials on white/latina/black girls. All their videos are filmed exclusively by Duke’s crew, so the content is unique as fuck. When it comes to hardcore content, Duke is one of the leaders in the online market and is the pioneer of brutal face fucking websites.

If you submit galleries, I am willing to bet Duke’s sites will convert for you better than any other hardcore sponsor. If you run freesites with hardcore/facial sections, do yourself a favor and start pushing.

You better be careful while constructing those links in the future. The US Government recently authorized a law (§ 2252C) making it a federal offense if you author a misleading link. Basically if you dump a visitor onto an “obscene” page, without clearly indicating the content they are about to see is “sex/porn” related, then you are breaking the law.

What is obscene you ask? Well who really fucking knows… the one thing we do know, is the law reads as such:

§ 2252C. Misleading words or digital images on the Internet

(a) IN GENERAL.—Whoever knowingly embeds words or digital images into the source code of a website with the intent to deceive a person into viewing material constituting obscenity shall be fined under this title and imprisoned for not more than 10 years.
(b) MINORS.—Whoever knowingly embeds words or digital images into the source code of a website with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material harmful to minors on the Internet shall be fined under this title and imprisoned for not more than 20 years.
(c) CONSTRUCTION.—For the purposes of this section, a word or digital image that clearly indicates the sexual content of the site, such as ‘sex’ or ‘porn’, is not misleading.
(d) DEFINITIONS.—As used in this section—HR 4472 EAS

1. the terms ‘material that is harmful to minors’ and ‘sex’ have the meaning given such terms in section 2252B; and
2. the term ‘source code’ means the combination of text and other characters comprising the content, both viewable and nonviewable, of a web page, including any website publishing language, programming language, protocol or functional content, as well as any successor languages or protocols.’’

The law is in theory, designed to help protect children online.
I can’t imagine there are too many people targeting children to obscene material in their online adult marketing. There is really no benefit in bringing underage viewers to adult websites. Primarily because they don’t have credit cards and can’t spend any money (freeloaders). But for those few people intentionally targeting children, they need to be stopped.. so 2252c, article B is great.

I am all for protecting children, but unfortunately I forsee this law overstepping it’s bounds. Instead it may be used to censor unjustly.

Article A. (In General), is extremely “general” in that it is so wide for interpretation that this could violate the law and be a 10 year offense: Raven goes out for the army. Is it obscene? Depends on who you ask. Does it mislead the person clicking the link? Depends on who you ask. The thought-police are on patrol.

What to do? Make sure you vote for representatives who don’t have their heads up their asses and don’t promote any pornstars named Barbie.

I had to turn you onto this program while it is still fresh and unsaturated.

Incredible Dollars just launched last month (September 2006) and is hitting the streets running. This program has some unique niches that you just don’t see very often (or ever). I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but… the niches they cover are so rare (amputee & midget for instance), that if you know what you are doing, will convert at a ratio too good to even discuss. Honestly, you can’t possibly imagine how well their toothbrush site converts on targeted jizz traffic. Their stuntcock dumps bigger loads than Peter North, no joke!

One of the aspects of this program that nearly goes unsaid, is that they shoot almost exclusively with gorgeous, busty latina women. So even if you don’t promote the micro-niches, you can push nearly all of their promotions under the latina/spanish category.

Give one (or two) of their programs a shot and I guarantee you will be seeing conversion ratios that are unmatched.

With the advances in technology over recent years, High Definition (HD) video is quickly becoming the new frontier in content production. Many porn connoiseurs have HD TV’s and know how to burn their downloaded movies to dvd. With these kind of upgrades in electronics, comes the need to deliver content that can push their systems to the max.

Let me introduce you to Python (warning: loud music), one of the pioneers of Hi-Def porn movies. They cover some general niches (cumshot, anal, bj), however the fact that all of their video is shot in HD, gives them an edge over the competition… and in my opinion, puts them in a niche with almost no competition.

The beauty of HD content is that all the promotional material is absolutely flawless. If you push galleries, your thumbs will have huge click through rates (CTR) without even retouching. If you build custom banners/promotions for ad spots, the quality of Python’s content will outshine everything else on the page. If you target high definition television owners, you will be offering them one of the only sources of high def (16:9 aspect ratio) porn.

Python also stands out with one of the highest payouts in the movie market at $40 PPS on trials.

If you are into submitting galleries as part of your marketing efforts, your database of sites to submit to, is your bread and butter.

There are many ways to build your list of sites to submit to. From buying databases, to trading with other webmasters, to hunting them down on your own, your options are many. Personally I prefer to build my own database from scratch.. and for free. My suggestion is to start by getting as many sites as possible on your list, then slowly filter out the ones that are worthless to you.

Basically, throw shit at the wall, see what sticks, clean the wall and repeat.

First of all, you have to realize alot of the sites you submit to, may not list your galleries. They may have a year old backlog, or not allow your sponsor, or just plain think your galleries suck. Generally you should read their submission rules and decide if you will even be able to provide what they like. Check out the galleries that are already listed on their site and see if you will be competitive with the currently approved galleries.

I write this, assuming you already have a gallery submission program (like AdvancedSubmitter) and know how to use it. If not, maybe you should use a bookmark folder in your browser or make an spreadsheet of sites that you can use when it is time to submit. I highly recommend using a submission program though, because it will help you tremendously.

To start looking for sites to submit to, start by hitting your favorite search engine. Search engines have the best quality of traffic, so you will be looking for sites that your target visitor is hitting when he searches for your niche.

Lets say you are targeting the cumshot niche. Here are some tips for building your cumshot submission database:

1. Start by doing a general search, like cumshot (the sites that are returned will have the best quality of traffic for your gallery). Many of these sites will most likely be difficult to get a submission account with, but don’t let that stop you… this is the golden traffic. Apply for partner status if that is an option and also add their submission pages to your database. You will want to repeat this process for all the terms that are in your niche (ie. cum shot, cum facial, jizz, sperm, cum load, etc)
2. Once you have targeted the high quality results for your niche, you will want to do some other searches to help build your database (with galleries, traffic quantity over quality is a part of the equation, imo.) Some good twists to your searches may include:

• inurl:cumshot “submit gallery” -this will show you all sites where the word “cumshot” is contained in the page url and “submit gallery” is on the page.
• intitle:cumshot “submit gallery” -this will show you all sites where the word “cumshot” is contained in the title of the page and “submit gallery” is on the page.

Repeat the above techniques for all the keywords/niches you promote and you will have a nicely targeted submission database for any niche you decide to attack.

Once you start submitting your galleries on a regular basis, you can monitor your traffic to see what sites are listing you, what sites have the most traffic, what sites are responsible for your conversions, etc. After you mine this data, you can delete the poor-performing sites from your submission database.
