There is no magic bullet, which it seems you are trying to find. There are many opportunities in mainstream. You should take the facets of what you have learned in Adult and apply them to mainstream. There are many similarities, however there are many differences.
In addition, base your decisions upon conversions...and don't get lured in just by high payouts. The #1 issue I see publishers make is that they make there decision on the wrong numbers. Look at numbers such as Click thru to conversion ratios and EPC's.
Also keep in mind: 99.9% of Cookie Cutter sites do not work... No matter how much someone may claim they do.

Thanks for the advice. To clear something up, I'm not looking for a "magic bullet". I'm a geek who likes to spend 18 hours a day at my computer (that's not sarcasm, I really do), so I'm not opposed to working hard to get something to convert.
My problem is, I don't know how to get any of it to convert. Besides my adult stuff, I pretty much only run "sports entertainment" (yeah, wrestling...y'all can laugh now) sites, which cater to the 18-34 demographic. So, I loaded up the sidebar with links to stuff that I thought would appeal to that demo...movies, music, etc. CT is doing well...but no conversions. Any suggestions on what I should be doing differently or what other kind of site I should start? Thanks again!
