We just built a new facility to house a new project launching later this year with nearly 60,000 products in a rather unsaturated online market.

the thing i don't get about mainstream is there doesn't seem to be kind of networking like in adult. for example link exchanges and traffic trades. how do you get the traffic? of course you're not going to just tell me but its what i wonder. se's will give you only so much without plenty o' backlinks.

What's "upper mainstream"? Is there a lower mainstream? Is there an upper adult? lower adult?

"Upper Mainstream" in the DFW area that means over $200K annual. I took a paycut going to adult, but that will be made up in less than 6-months.

I'm dabbling in mainstream right now for the first time. I've been neck deep in research for the past 2 weeks. There are interesting opportunities to say the least.

and there are just as many ways to get traffic in mainstream as there are in adult - and variations of similar business models like link exchanges and traffic trades.

Just like adult, it comes down to networking and figuring out your "niche".

I'm inbetween as of now.
It's a bit of a headache, because you want to mix adult with mainstream at times

I'm currently trying my chances on mainstream, but I don't pretend to leave adult... it's just diversification.

Dude there is money in mainstream. Just because you can't figure it out does not mean it doesn't exist.
