Mainstream Traffic Vs Adult Traffic
 

With which are you getting better results?

Is the ROI better for mainstream vs Adult or vice versa?

I'm starting to dabble a bit in mainstream haven't really launched anything yet but in the middle of research I've found guys kind of like here on GFY..some making $100's a month some making $1,000's some making 10's of $1,000's.

Anyway just wondering if you are doing mainstream and adult what your experiences have been like.

Are you faring better in adult or mainstream?

i've only started moving into mainstream about 6 months ago. i'm making money, but nothing like what i'm doing in adult. of course i've been in adult for 8 years, which might have something to do with it ;)

LOL while it would be nice to see lightning strike twice I think your experiences are going to be skewed towards adult at this point. ;)

I prefer mainstream. The adult internet is getting too much of a stick up the ass attitude.

:1orglaugh I feel you.

i think mainstream has better retention but conversion is a little harder. all depends on what you sell

I'm getting ready to test a few things...still working on the sites not quite ready yet.

I think they are pretty close. Price point is more importnat in mainstream. You can't sell dime candy and make money but most stuff does ok.

Its a lot easier to make a buck in non adult than adult now

but keep away from penis programs, dating and scams
get real traffic promoting real products :) There are VAst areas of un exploitated traffic and good ROI overall, I average 80c a click with adsense and cj.com can convert with the best.

That's cool. I was approved for adsense the other day, just need to finish up some things and start pushing traffic to the site.

My amazon account is up to $27 :thumbsup
Even better, my adsense account is now up to $62 :Graucho

:1orglaugh

its hard to know actually .. my mainstream site pushs both adult and mainstream products ..

i have a solid mainstream income per month now but then again the adult income sometimes doubles the mainstream income if its a good month or u get the right visitors

Mainstream is HUGE if you got the knowledge and money to pull it off. As a regular affiliate you can make a few bucks on Adsense and the like but not that big from what I've seen. As an affiliate (for me that is) adult is far more proffitable, and adult traffic is easy to get...

i dont think money comes into it at all really .. if you have the knowledge .. a good design and great seo then your site will go to the same heights as one with bad seo and lots of money ..

Mainstream in my experience is a lot of trial and error

It would seem to me that it would be more difficult in gathering interest with mainstream vs adult because with adult you can throw up some naked pics of chicks...kind of hard for anyone to turn that down...LOL

Yes, BUT think about the adult traffic you get most often. It's from brokers, trades, gallery clicks, etc. Most people won't even let you use a damn console. Think about how much extra cash you'd be making if you could pop a console on your galleries.

Stick-up-the-ass attitude adult webmasters have.

i run a mainstream site and i would never ever exchange links with a site who runs pop ups or dialers .. its principle .. i dont like them served to me so im not sending my surfers to sites with them ..

yeah interest can be hard to get going but im guessing its more rewarding down the line .. my site has started to turn a profit monthly now which is good

I have found in my research that you'll find exactly the same kind of trade rules in mainstream as you do adult..some will take pops others not.

I agree about the pop ups tho' I hate them, but they can make money. ;)

My mainstream stuff is kicking ass. Of course I'm delivering real products and all the fun that entails but it's going fuckabazoo.

care to give some more details on what you're doing?

Ludedude is one of the largest affiliates of walmart.com

Sorry to be so ignorant... Just asking questions:winkwink:

i do well with my mainstream business... better than adult right now.

Depends completely on what you push and where and how.

It's nowhere near as easy to get traffic in mainstream.
And prices for traffic is usually much higher- and you can't "trade" as easy in mainstream. Thought if sites were more open to there would be so much more opportunity.

They still think exit swaps are efficient ways to trade traffic. :)

mortgage/debt leads and fuel saver works good on mainstream

I don't use mainstream traffic

adult = quick money

I invest a lot of cash in mainstream. I still didn't make a lot back, but I will.

You fucker. :321GFY
