    So What About Mainstream?

    I have read many posts in this forum from people who say that there is ALOT more money in mainstream. Some just say it and some actually leave 'adult' to start a mainstream project.

    My question is what type of sites in mainstream do these people build?

    In porn, there is a kind-of template for newbies to follow:
    1- Build a freesite - put some content on there, some banners and links to sponsors.
    2- TGP - Get content, put it on a page, submit your site etc...
    3- Blogs - Get content and publish.

    Porn surfers want to see naked chicks. Pictures and videos in various niches but basically 'naked chicks' is the common thread here.

    What do mainstream surfers look for? My guess is all kinds of stuff. What do most affiliates sell?

    Hi Mopek1,

    Wow that is a really open ended question. I work the Mainstream side now and came from Adult. There are differences for sure... but there are many similarities. One thing you will need to get used to is the payout structure. It is VERY different.

    The company I work for (LeadFlash.com), offers many different offers, ranging from Auto Loans to Education, but we focus on Sub-Prime Credit offers such as Payday Loans. Now conversions with Payday Loans for us RoX...That I can vouch for 100%.

    As far as what they are seeking?
    I would not say surfers go looking for mainstream ads (that would be odd), rather the sites that they visit SHOULD complement the sites content or audience. As far as conversions go with mainstream, it all depends upon the traffic (like adult). Overall, I feel that mainstream converts extremely well, just have to find the right product or niche.



    If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or just sign up direct if you decide to go the mainstream route. Make sure you you mention "GFY" in the notes, so you are accepted.

      mainstream is king ... you just have to have a shopping site and traffic, thats it.

      traffic= interlinking, blogs, adwords

        Swiss traffic once paid me $1.3 per click (shopping traffic). No joke!

        But getting deals like $0.60 per click is nothing unusual if you have good traffic. And that makes some $$$ for sure!

          I have a mainstream forum that I'm developing informational products for.

          On the adult side, I'm a primary and secondary producer, a sponsor and control my own traffic stream. I'm applying this same model to mainstream, developing the traffic, products and controlling the offer and revenue stream.

          There are more similarities than differences between mainstream and adult e-commerce; both require targeted traffic and a decent offer in order to profit.

            If some of you guys have good traffic (maybe an ad network) and wants to make cash with european traffic (geo-ip targeting required) than i can intrduce you to the "internation publisher director" at tradedoubler. This will bring you some campaigns for your european traffic for sure. And ... check your stats, you have european traffic for sure!

            this is serious ... if you want european campaigns, hit me up

                            Thanks guys for all the responses.

                            I know many people who have "shopping" sites but just can't see why surfers would go there. They look like all the others online?
