It would be a lot more cost effective if we paid 10X the price and got a 1:1,000 first time conversion rate.
1.) People will block ads
2.) People will close pop-ups/unders and DHTML
3.) Most 99.90%+ will not click banners |
If 99.99% of surfers weren't getting off on free porn, 1-1,000 might be very achievable.

This advertising in general is ''top of mind branding.'' When the person you are trying to brand your name or product with never sees your brand -- then your money is just wasted on them.

What branding? A person who doesn't want to see an advert, will see it as a negative towards that brand.

Adult brands are not PC for social media really. You will have little result with radio ads. We have had some favorable results with cable (adult channel advertising). 40% to 50% +- of our sales have an DirectAccess origin -- type-ins. So the branding value in ads is substantial.

Which should remain with the people who want to see your ads.

Let's face it, people don't all gather on Facebook to have a circle jerk together 
I never understand why there is not a ''porn social media" for us ''pervs.'' If this was a subscription site, for $4.99 a month, all of the users would have prequalified with payment cards and the site owner could make a bundle selling ads to his users that pay 
Would it be worth offering some real full length content or cam exhibitions-specials live to a porn media audience that is payment card verified? Yeah, to some extent you are right -- you have to think out of the box. If someone does something serious in this direction we will rent a ''booth.''

Facebook advertising would be hit just as hard if the advertised benefit of the advert was given away free.
Trying to get people to pay $4.99 when wank fodder is free is dangerous. If the site is supported by giving away free porn to sell ad space, you might just harm sales.
Free porn advertising use to a box cover, then it moved to Newsgroups, FHGs, MPGs, and now Tubes, selling ad space that converts 1-30,000 on clicks. Anyone remember the days of 1-300?
The difference between mainstream is most of them don't give their product away for free, when they do it's rarely as easy as we do. Which has been the course of online porn for 15 years. Would it really cause harm if ad sales were no longer profitable enough to support Tube sites?
Anyway, Ad Blockers are here to stay, adapt or die.
