1. Which side has better sales techniques, mainstream or adult?

I couldn't really pick, each have some unique techniques. Mainstream has some really nice video ads now build into their sites and emails. Some can even take orders inside the email itself. Sometimes I think their pitches of their products and services are way to long. But maybe I have just been on the internet too long. While Mainstream worries about the look and control of their ads, Adult worries much more about conversions. And as mentioned at the conference they are more then willing to send their traffic to their competitors just to make a sale. If they can't convert them, they find another way to get the sale.

2. Which is harder and why?

For me mainstream. I don't believe it is hard to get SE traffic for many mainstream sites. But it is hard as an affiliate to get some really unique ads and custom type content (not the gallery type content) but custom anything for an affiliate. Adult is very much a community, not just of one web board but crosses all of them. Adult definitely has better networking then mainstream from boards, resources, internet radio and every other way we come up with to be able to stay in contact with each other. And none of them fear to link to a competitor. Which this really does make it much easier for adult webmasters to find what they need information on.

I can probably go on and on there are so many differences.
