(just for ease of use, I posted this very message just moments ago at adultwebmasterinfo.com), but it still applies here, so those that are patrons of both, please disreguard. Thanks. :-)
Hello everyone,
I'm not 'new' to the adult sites, however the last time I was in, which was only a few years ago, there didn't seem to be as many affiliate programs as I see looming around now, and it was a touch easier (from what I can currently tell) to break into the trading arena.
My question really is this.
Just starting out, with a fresh site, and a couple of affiliates in place (ARS / OXCASH), I've gotten a little bit of marketing material, which I've tried to put in place on my site currently. I know that nobody will want to trade with me, until I can guarantee them at least 200 uniques/day.
It's almost a catch 22, as I can't really get anyone to list me on their sites, because I'm not producing enough return traffic to make it worth their while, and I can produce the traffice because nobody is listing me.
What are your suggestions to get 'in' with some of the higher traffic folk?
Would it stand to reason that if (big if) I were to get one person that had tons of traffic to (for a few days or so), give me a really nice link placement on their site, I could then use that traffic to secure 2 or 3 other good sites... then the ball would get rolling?
Then again, maybe the suggestions from the crowd here would be "don't try and get a free ride" (which I'm not mind you), "just start out with a few links to high-traffic sites, and hope someone lists you back".
Again, I'm really unsure about it all.
If you have suggestions, i'm 100% up for it, anywhere from site-design (which in itself is a complete monster that's backwards from any designers standpoint), to site layout, to who to do 'business' with [ARS/OXCASH/ETC].
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and most importantly, your time.
