what niches do you think recur the longest?
 

What niches have you found get you the best retention of members and as affiliates the best recurring?

I always thought the more wild the content the longer the retention.


thanks

Midget transvestites in tar and chicken feathers

either that or the smoking beast scat balloon fetish

You guys are sure thinking about transvestites a lot!
Must have found your secret fetish.
Very brave of you to come out like this in public.

do your own research...I'm not being bitchy but the one that is going to recur best for you is the one you have researched so well that you know exactly what those surfers want. Then you will know how to pitch it to the type that will stay joined and not just the casual surfer. Some of us spend hours every day reading up on various niches/fetishes. Asking people to give away our hard work is a bit unfair, no?

Actually my dear I think this is one of the best questions I have seen on any board for quite some time.

Would have been nice to hear from some paysite owners on this!

For me ebony and gay retained best so far. thats my :2 cents:

I understand what you are saying but so much of it is in how you promote something. One person could have a teen site that retains very well and another than doesn't.

Just as others, I have no problem shairing information (you scratch my back, you scratch mine) but how many people do you think really reveal what their main seller is unless they run a paysite and then of course they have the best niche :)

So much of it is knowing your aduience and pitching it to their level. For example, I do well with foot and leg fetish related sites and for me they retain really well. However, if I just threw traffic at any old foot fetish site without researching what my surfers want then I mine as well throw the traffic anywhere and cross my fingers. The ability to keep those foot fetish surfers comes in doing the research and giving them what they want. It isn't the fault of the niche if I don't convert.

Great point!

Problem is we all want to convert everything out there (at least I do) and thus its hard to do everything well.

Speaking of foot fetish have you seen the cyberskin feet they sell in stores now as a sex toy? I laughed my ass off at first but I bet someone is making coin on that!
:Graucho

no, I haven't ..I should ask the boss about them because I bet I could shift a few of those !

Thank you Suesheboy.

First of all Sarah I appreciate what you shared here about researching a niche and giving the surfers what they like. That is very true I've found.

You see Sarah I believe there are two types of people in this industry. Those that think that there is a limited amount of prosperity and therefore they must not only guard what they have but some even go so far as to try to take from others.
The second type of webmaster knows that there is a world of abundance available to those who work together. That to share something of value is the highest form of prosperity. And that what you give comes back to you 10 fold whether it's positive or negative.

Now I admit that it is not very likely to find that second type of webmaster on a board entitled "Go Fuck Yourself". But
when we discuss things we are not "Giving Away" hard earned secrets. We are sharing and trading ideas and thoughts and building relationships. Relationships are what this and any business is built on.


Thanks for your input.

Joe

Thats why I told you.

I have some big specialty toys deals I working on, when done I am going to hit the "king" up.

Gay, dating, bdsm, and a personal webcam site if they fall in love with the girl.

By the way, what the hell are you doing posting so early on the am?

Depends on the site, not on the niche!

i don't think niche matters. as long as you have unique content, and lots of 'em, they'll stay a member.

i've got an advantage since i got movie sites, it takes surfers to download all of the content, so they stay a member longer.

snot niche

sites that have exclusive content and daily updates.

While there is tons of news (and lots of BS) on this board and its worth reading, some other boards have a friendlier more helpful feel to them.

Ya gotta love the drama here though!

nippy tummy, can't sleep.

Yes and trust me I know the value of learning for one another..do a search on my name and the world 'nylon' and see the kind of thread I started last week. I'm just saying whenever anyone asks a question like this they have to take anything that is handed to them with a pinch of salt because at the end of the day it varies for everyone and is largely down to peronal leg work.

:eek7

We find the best retention in niches that have a strong community. Much of our traffic comes from word of mouth, and reputation is everything. Since we are so dependant on this, it is absolutely imperative to keep our members satisfied, which in turn fuels retention.

depends on the site not the niche

ALL 1998 niches retained excellently :)

I'd guess live webcams, but I have no experience with anything else.

My extreme piss drinking and fisting housewife site retains very very well. :glugglug

I find gay beast does the best for me.
