Adult vs. Mainstream
 

Have you ever wondered why so many adult webmasters are trying to break into mainstream when an awful lot of mainstream webmasters / companies are trying to break into adult?

Just seems weird to me :eyecrazy

life in general is pretty weird...

Of course it seems weird to you.. You Are An Idiot

He is way beyong an idiot

simple: The grass is always greener on the other side.

Too true but you would have thought they would realize that if adult webmasters are going to mainstream then its not as profitable as it once way in pretty much the same way the adult companies should realize that mainstream wants to break into porn because well, mainstream just cant be that profitable either :helpme

There are a lot more opportunities in mainstream. Lots more places you can advertise. Way more money. Porn is a consistent money maker, but mainstream is where you can make the huge Internet $$$ pops.

Do you have some examples because I can't see it. :Note

Sorry, but I keep the mainstream miles apart from porno land.

You know what you are talking about, right? :)

That is not totally true.....

Diversity can be a very good thing, don't put all your eggs in one basket..:)

yeah, you can use those recommend a friend buttons with much better results, :)

I didn't think there were any examples :)

Mainstream is nowhere near as fun as adult, though.

This guy gets flammed more then anyone on the board...

Does he really know what he is talking about?

All I hear is "ARK ARK ARK ARK"

What KRL said. Porn is a little back water.

so what mainstream companies are making big bucks?

gambling? games? what?

what about me said :mad:

KRL:

Yup! :thumbsup

I took what I learned from adult and now dominate in every search engine and make 30k a month from mainstream stuff. The pour fucks don't have a clue about anything. Adult to mainstream makes more sense than the other.

Mainstream is when you're buying a new 350z and a new house and filling it to the brim with furniture over a short period of time. :glugglug

Are we talking sales?

If that was true I don't think you'd be blabbing it off around here. If it is true you just made a mistake.

If you're calling me a liar, I'll show you my batch for the day and Fridays are slow. My processor calls me every week to make sure things are well and all it takes is 2500 people to my site a day. Thing is, those people are worth a shit load more than any fucking adult hit. It's like having 2500 people come into a sporting goods store or something, that's a lot of people and don't tell me they wouldn't make 30k a month off of that.

Also, if you aren't manufacturing or having something manufactured than you are 3rd or 4th on the list and that would make things hard and make profit margins slim.

I don't care if I tell people here they can make good money on mainstream. I didn't tell them what I sell. It's just a fact and life is good now.

Hint, I have what I sell manufactured and it took a lot of scratch and 6 years of webmaster experience to do it right. Keep trucking, you'll get there someday. :glugglug

p.s. that doesn't include my paysite revenue.

you should be in both.

there are marketing techniques in Mainstream that work wonders for Porn and vice versa..

also, take a second to think about it. If you have any se placement skills you would know that there are millions upon millions of adult pages, and if you are niche mainstream you have 50-100 competitors. duh, think about it!

Well, is it worth the time to learn SE if all SEs turn pay per click in the next 2 years?

mainstream is the world
adult is just an exotic island

:glugglug

If I was calling you a liar I would not have written the second sentence.

Congrats, 30k profit a month is not too shabby. What's your gross sales per year?

Oh, and for the record, I am already where I need to be in my mainstream sales, however they are not web related. 7 figures a year in gross sales and it takes about 1 hour a week of my time.

examples?

;-)

and congrats on those nice numbers...

Thanks, this week wasn't too bad:

Wow you made a html page for us :thumbsup

With the same invoice number used twice - with different dollar amounts :thumbsup

08/14/2003 Invoice 9549 FLORIMEX B.V. SALAL TIPS (25) 350.00 21.00 7350.00 7,350.00

08/14/2003 Invoice 9549 FLORIMEX B.V. SALAL TIPS (25) 496.00 20.00 9920.00 17,270.00

WTG Retard :thumbsup

lol, you missed invoice 9553, it's listed twice as well because Mini Tips are a different product on the same invoice. On invoice 9549 SALAL TIPS are listed twice because I billed my customer $21 for some and $20 for the remainder of the container load. I can back this shit up any way you want so put your money where your mouth is ass wipe. I'll bet any amount of money you want.
