Yes, this is what I hear so often and why I started the thread. "One mainstream visitor gets me more than 20 adult visitors". This hasn't been the case with me at all and I'm wondering why. As far as I can figure it the reason is that I get lower income per visitor on my mainstream sites.
I've already explained why. I get a higher percentage per sale, and a higher percentage of conversions per 1000, with my adult traffic. With the same amount of traffic I'd need my mainstream traffic to convert 7 times more or spend 7 times more than my adult traffic.
If there are indeed mainstream programs that can offer similar payment per conversion I'd love to know about them.
I've tried Commission Junction and Shareasale but neither did much of anything for me. The companies that had products related to my sites only paid 3-6% on sales, which is about the same as Amazon, and they didn't even allow me to link directly to each product -- only to the general sites or sections of the sites (which is why I went to Amazon in the first place).
BTW, I've never paid for traffic in my life and all of my sites (adult and mainstream) get 90% + of their traffic organically from Google. I wouldn't say it was easier to get either form of traffic. Publishing lots of quality content works just as well for both in my experience.
