you make more money with just a few banners then a whole bunch of links or banners. all that ppc advertising is nickel and dime if you really think about it. it may benefit you as an advertiser, but with a domain name like sex.com they could make a lot more money then with ppc advertising.

i'll give you some of my secrets free of charge.
i just took a zanax and i'm feeling melow. ;)

i have a link list (link dump i should say) i joined every affiliate program with my niche thinking visitors would be interested in at least one of the links or galleries when they visited my site. then i tried something different.

i went into my ccbill account and looked up a whole year of sales to see which sites brought in the most sales. then i put the top 8 sites on my main page with descriptions, (no teaser photos) then i created a page and named it link.htm. i put my webmaster trades and the other weak sponsors on that page. i named the link page ***webmasters trade here*** and placed it at the bottom of the main page.

so now when new visitors would visit my site, they really didn't have much of a choice to choose from. you have like 3 minutes to grab their attention before they leave. i found it's better to have 2,000 hits a day visit 8 sites instead of 20,000 hits visiting 150 sites and/or a bunch of free galleries.

plus, if you have too many free galleries, visitors have more then enough porn to satisfy them to a point where they really don't need to join any site. plus they get confused and don't know which site to join. cut down on your galleries and have no more then 3 sponsors with 4 MOVIE galleries from each sponsor. (besides the original 8 sponsors with descriptions.)

create a table with a heading of the sponsor (joe blows website) and a table underneath with 4 links to that sponsors galleries. (movie 1 movie 2 etc.)

(do not use teaser pics. they'll now click the link because they're curious. if they don't like the teaser pic you use, they won't click that link at all.)

my advertising budget went from $150 a day to about $20 a day max now and i make almost as much as i did with all the links and a big budget. target your keywords and stick with your niche. don't be tempted to use general terms like sex, porn, xxx etc. you'll be wasting your money. stay on target.

also, i found out that a few movie galleries are better then photo galleries. photo galleries give visitors a chance to fantasize because the pics are still. with movie galleries, it doesn't give them enough time to beat off.

this works well with link list for me. i'm not sure if this is what sex.com is doing with just a few banners. they may be just testing to see what works for them.

i've been doing this since "97" and i keep learning something new everyday. always keep testing, testing, testing.

side note:

i was getting a shit load of hits from google each day when i was spending about $100 bucks a day with them. when they started wanting to charge me $1, $5 and $10 per keyword i had to drop them because i couldn't afford to pay that kind of money. i figured my business was screwed. my sales dropped so low i wasn't sure how much longer i would be in business. i stayed focused and knew i had to think of something and i did. there's an answer to every problem if you don't give up. hope this info helps some of you.

i do miss the other sex.com format before they sold it. i also advertised with them myself. sure wish i owned that name.
