    Who are the big GAY players?

    We hear a lot about the big name players in the industry as a whole, but who would you say are the biggest names/programs/sites in the gay niche?

                There's probably one of those around here somewhere.

                    Darren Austin is a pretty big name in the gay niche and hosts the CE gay webmaster show.

                    Bfcollection.com, bedfellow and some of the older gay paysites and are pretty huge so i've heard.

                    My partner and i run some large gay tgps, free hosts, and paysites.

                            I dont think anyone makes really big money with gay.

                            So far this month I'm the top selling affiliate on a big gay program and I'm not making shit.

                                      You cant compare the money in gay to the money in straight.

                                      There is no gay Lensman, Fantasyman, blah blah blah. There just isnt the traffic to supprt that level of income in gay.

                                      Who probably cleaned up the most in gay in the last year?

                                      the NastyDollars crew and the Baitbus crew.

                                        sorry dude I dont see very many examples of people doing well with gay sites and if they are noone is speaking up.

                                        I've been a top 10 affiliate with a big gay sponsor for 5 or 6 months straight and I'm broke. I made way more selling indian girls and old ladies. I'm probably going to go back.

                                            I derrive my 95% of my income from gay marketing. And I can honestly say I'm not broke LOL

                                            There are a number of gay players but most of us aren't vocal. And many won't speak outside of the community - they have been given a tremndous amount of reason not to share. And many have told me I'm a fool for being vocal on Gay Wide Webmaster because I shouldn't share that info.

                                            Comparing the numbers between the gay market and the straight market, there is a vast difference simply by the amount of straight people versus gay people. However the amount of disposable income inside the gay community is far greater.

                                            Is there money to be made in gay... hell yes! A lot. And to be honest if you aren't, then your doing something wrong.

                                              I agree with you and I look forward to attending your seminar, but I'm just giving my experience.

                                              After months of producing my checks are tiny.

                                              As for doing something wrong, well I am outselling lots of other established people but not seeing much for my efforts.

                                              So if anyone wants me to switch over to their program I'm open to it. I generate sales, I just need a better product to sell I guess.

                                                My original post wasn't entirely direct AT you Marcus... you just made the point I wanted to address...

                                                NOW the comment you made above... it's golden! That I will say is a problem. There is a lot of crap and over saturation out there... You just need to find the right match, because there is a lot of good stuff out there too.

                                                I know a number of very successful webmaster working gay that do not offer webmaster programs. They have sites that are unbelieveable! But they just don't want to share the gold.

                                                MY two cents...

                                                                  There's definitely less gay traffic than straight traffic (that stands to reason) but I've always found it more profitable. After all, most gay guys have more disposable income than their straight peers - with no wives/kids to support, etc. There's alos less taboo about sex and paying for sex.

                                                                  The problem, in my opinion, is that the big "mega programs" with both gay and straight sites tend to have really crap gay sites. The people who create them are obviously not gay and don't know how to make them look good. So they end up converting badly and failing to make money. Then the programs don't invest in new ideas and things never get better. NastyDollars are probably the only exception to this rule that I can think of.

                                                                  I'm surprised nobody has the imagination to develop a really good gay site. If one of the big programs had a site like PhotoBoyz, which converts around 1:60 consistently and retains members for an average of 6 months, they would make millions. Why don't they do it? (PhotoBoyz is not for sale by the way - it was just an example! haha)

                                                                  If anyone has gay traffic that is not converting with their current sponsor, please come and talk to me - icq #133031563.

It's convenient and there are advantages to it, but most people would make tons more cash if they worked with niche programs that paid the same or more per sign up but converted 2-3 times better.

If one of the big programs had a site like PhotoBoyz, which converts around 1:60 consistently and retains members for an average of 6 months, they would make millions. Why don't they do it? (PhotoBoyz is not for sale by the way - it was just an example! haha)
                                                                        No way you are converting 1:60 with that site unless you get only AVS and SE traffic... or you only get 120 hits a day.

Talk is cheap as cutetwink says, let's test it - i will send you 1000 gay AVS hits and if it doesn't convert at least 1:100 (10 signups) what can you offer me? if you are so confident let's do so:
                                                                                      if it doesn't convert you send me $2000 (+ of course whatever i earned from those 1000 avs clicks), if it converts - i'll continue sending avs traffic, plus you'll get a lot of affiliates when I post the results

We don't use lots of bought in content geared around American tastes. We produce our own exclusive content geared around European tastes. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but they are different markets and one is saturated and the other isn't. Unsaturated niche markets almost always convert better than saturated ones.

                                                                                          I'm obviously not going to take you up on your offer. No surpises there. You don't like our site and don't understand its appeal, therefore you won't promote it effectively and won't get the good conversions. Your AVS sites are probably also aimed at the same market as your pay sites - that would only be natural - but it's not the target market for PhotoBoyz, and that will also affect your conversions.

                                                                                          Let me also say that I've tried your sites and got poor results but I would never try to make you look small on a board. And that's after giving you a chance. You know nothing about me or my sites, or the market I'm appealing to, yet you sit there sneering. I think that's kinda sad. PhotoBoyz has been going 5 years, with new exclusive content every two days. Would it even still be there, let alone making a healthy profit, which it is, if the idea/niche wasn't getting good conversions and retaining members? Doing things a bit differently is a risk, but it often pays off.

You said so many words and none of them is a good excuse for not taking the offer. I take it as backing off of your own words. I'm not going to cheat you and send 1000 exit hits or something. I'll do it very honest way trust me. I'll go as far as showing you ads before sending traffic.

We use those sites in some exits and get very good ratios. The content is some of the best I have seen. BTW I can tell you PhotoBoyz has been around for as long as they say they have, it was just under a different name.

I'm not going to gamble on you being able to produce good quality traffic when I have no idea who you are!

PhotoBoyz used to have a .co.uk domain, being a UK site, and we only started using the global .com and .net domains about two years ago when the site got more international interest. Many of our affiliates and even a handful of members have been with us since the beginning.
